Question : 6 of 20
Marks: +1, -0
A cone of height 12 cm and slant height 13 cm is surmounted on a hemisphere having radius equal to that of cone. The entire height of the solid is
Solution:  
Given:-
Height of Cone(h)=12 cm\text{Height of Cone}(h)=12\ \text{cm}
Slant height of Cone(l)=13 cm\text{Slant height of Cone}(l)=13\ \text{cm}
we know that,
l2=h2+r2l^2 = h^2 + r^2
(13)2=(12)2+r2(13)^2 = (12)^2 + r^2
169=144+r2169 = 144 + r^2
r2=169−144r^2 = 169 - 144
r2=25r^2 = 25
∴r=25=5 cm\therefore r = \sqrt{25} = 5\ \text{cm}
The Cone is surmounted on a hemisphere radius of the hemisphere is equal to the radius of the cone.
Height of the Cone (h) = 12 cm
Radius of the hemisphere (r) = 5 cm
∴ The Total height of the Solid = 12 cm + 5 cm
= 17 cm
