13.1 Introduction
From Class IX, you are familiar with some of the solids like cuboid, cone, cylinder, and sphere (see Fig. 13.1). You have also learnt how to find their surface areas and volumes.

Fig. 13.1
In our day-to-day life, we come across a number of solids made up of combinations of two or more of the basic solids as shown above.
You must have seen a truck with a container fitted on its back (see Fig. 13.2), carrying oil or water from one place to another. Is it in the shape of any of the four basic solids mentioned above? You may guess that it is made of a cylinder with two hemispheres as its ends.

Again, you may have seen an object like the one in Fig. 13.3. Can you name it? A test tube, right!
You would have used one in your science laboratory.
This tube is also a combination of a cylinder and a hemisphere. Similarly, while travelling, you may have seen some big and beautiful buildings or monuments made up of a combination of solids mentioned above.
If for some reason you wanted to find the surface areas, or volumes, or capacities of such objects, how would you do it? We cannot classify these under any of the solids you have already studied.

Fig. 13.3

In this chapter, you will see how to find surface areas and volumes of such objects. 13.2 Surface Area of a Combination of Solids
Let us consider the container seen in Fig. 13.2. How do we find the surface area of such a solid? Now, whenever we come across a new problem, we first try to see, if we can break it down into smaller problems, we have earlier solved. We can see that this solid is made up of a cylinder with two hemispheres stuck at either end. It would look like what we have in Fig. 13.4, after we put the pieces all together.

Fig. 13.4
If we consider the surface of the newly formed object, we would be able to see only the curved surfaces of the two hemispheres and the curved surface of the cylinder.
So, the total surface area of the new solid is the sum of the curved surface areas of each of the individual parts. This gives,
TSA of new solid = CSA of one hemisphere + CSA of cylinder
+ CSA of other hemisphere where TSA, CSA stand for ‘Total Surface Area’ and ‘Curved Surface Area’ respectively. Let us now consider another situation. Suppose we are making a toy by putting together a hemisphere and a cone. Let us see the steps that we would be going through.

First, we would take a cone and a hemisphere and bring their flat faces together.
Here, of course, we would take the base radius of the cone equal to the radius of the hemisphere, for the toy is to have a smooth surface. So, the steps would be as shown in Fig. 13.5.

Fig. 13.5
At the end of our trial, we have got ourselves a nice round-bottomed toy. Now if we want to find how much paint we would require to colour the surface of this toy, what would we need to know? We would need to know the surface area of the toy, which consists of the CSA of the hemisphere and the CSA of the cone.
So, we can say:
Total surface area of the toy = CSA of hemisphere + CSA of cone
Now, let us consider some examples.
Example 1 : Rasheed got a playing top (lattu) as his birthday present, which surprisingly had no colour on it. He wanted to colour it with his crayons. The top is shaped like a cone surmounted by a hemisphere
(see Fig 13.6). The entire top is 5 cm in height and the diameter of the top is 3.5 cm. Find the area he has to colour. (Take π =

)

Fig. 13.6

Solution : This top is exactly like the object we have discussed in Fig. 13.5. So, we can conveniently use the result we have arrived at there. That is :
TSA of the toy = CSA of hemisphere + CSA of cone
Now, the curved surface area of the hemisphere =

You may note that ‘total surface area of the top’ is not the sum of the total surface areas of the cone and hemisphere.

Example 2 : The decorative block shown in Fig. 13.7 is made of two solids — a cube and a hemisphere. The base of the block is a cube with edge 5 cm, and the hemisphere fixed on the top has a diameter of 4.2 cm.
Find the total surface area of the block.

Solution : The total surface area of the cube = 6 × (edge)2 = 6 × 5 × 5 cm2 = 150 cm2.

So,
the surface area of the block = TSA of cube – base area of hemisphere

Example 3 : A wooden toy rocket is in the shape of a cone mounted on a cylinder, as shown in Fig. 13.8. The height of the entire rocket is 26 cm, while the height of the conical part is 6 cm. The base of the conical portion has a diameter of 5 cm, while the base diameter of the cylindrical portion is 3 cm. If the conical portion is to be painted orange and the cylindrical portion yellow, find the area of the rocket painted with each of these colours. (Take π = 3.14)
Solution : Denote radius of cone by r, slant height of cone by l, height of cone by h, radius of cylinder by r′ and height of cylinder by h′.
Then r = 2.5 cm, h = 6 cm, r′ = 1.5 cm, h′ = 26 – 6 = 20 cm and l= r 2 + h2 =

Fig. 13.8

2.52 + 62 cm = 6.5 cm

Here, the conical portion has its circular base resting on the base of the cylinder, but the base of the cone is larger than the base of the cylinder. So, a part of the base of the cone (a ring) is to be painted.
So,

the area to be painted orange = CSA of the cone + base area of the cone
– base area of the cylinder
= πrl + πr2 – π(r′)2
= π[(2.5 × 6.5) + (2.5)2 – (1.5)2] cm2
= π[20.25] cm2 = 3.14 × 20.25 cm2
= 63.585 cm2

Now,

the area to be painted yellow = CSA of the cylinder
+ area of one base of the cylinder
= 2 π r ′ h ′ + π( r ′ ) 2
= πr ′ ( 2 h′ + r ′ )

13.3 Volume of a Combination of Solids

In the previous section, we have discussed how to find the surface area of solids made up of a combination of two basic solids. Here, we shall see how to calculate their volumes. It may be noted that in calculating the surface area, we have not added the surface areas of the two constituents, because some part of the surface area disappeared in the process of joining them. However, this will not be the case when we calculate the volume. The volume of the solid formed by joining two basic solids will actually be the sum of the volumes of the constituents, as we see in the examples below.
Example 5 : Shanta runs an industry in a shed which is in the shape of a cuboid surmounted by a half cylinder (see Fig.
13.12). If the base of the shed is of dimension 7 m × 15 m, and the height of the cuboidal portion is 8 m, find the volume of air that the shed can hold. Further, suppose the machinery in the shed occupies a total space of 300 m3, and there are 20 workers, each of whom occupy about 0.08 m 3 s pace on an average. Then, how much air is in the

MATHEMATICS

Solution : The volume of air inside the shed (when there are no people or machinery) is given by the volume of air inside the cuboid and inside the half cylinder, taken together. Now, the length, breadth and height of the cuboid are 15 m, 7 m and 8 m, respectively.
Also, the diameter of the half cylinder is 7 m and its height is 15 m.
So, the required volume = volume of the cuboid +

Next, the total space occupied by the machinery = 300 m3
And the total space occupied by the workers = 20 × 0.08 m3 = 1.6 m3
Therefore, the volume of the air, when there are machinery and workers
= 1128.75 – (300.00 + 1.60) = 827.15 m3
Example 6 : A juice seller was serving his customers using glasses as shown in Fig. 13.13.
The inner diameter of the cylindrical glass was
5 cm, but the bottom of the glass had a hemispherical raised portion which reduced the capacity of the glass. If the height of a glass was 10 cm, find the apparent capacity of the glass and its actual capacity. (Use π = 3.14.)

Fig. 13.13

Solution : Since the inner diameter of the glass = 5 cm and height = 10 cm, the apparent capacity of the glass = π r 2 h
= 3.14 × 2.5 × 2.5 × 10 cm3 = 196.25 cm3
But the actual capacity of the glass is less by the volume of the hemisphere at the base of the glass.
i.e.,

it is less by

πr = × 3.14 × 2.5 × 2.5 × 2.5 cm = 32.71 cm3

So, the actual capacity of the glass = apparent capacity of glass – volume of the hemisphere = (196.25 – 32.71) cm3
= 163.54 cm3

Example 7 : A s olid toy is in the form of a hemisphere surmounted by a right circular cone. The height of the cone is 2 cm and the diameter of the base is 4 cm. Determine the volume of the toy. If a right circular cylinder circumscribes the toy, find the difference of the volumes of the cylinder and the toy.
(Take π = 3.14)

Fig. 13.14
Solution : Let BPC be the hemisphere and ABC be the cone standing on the base of the hemisphere (see Fig. 13.14). The radius BO of the hemisphere (as well as
1

Now, let the right circular cylinder EFGH circumscribe the given solid. The radius of the base of the right circular cylinder = HP = BO = 2 cm, and its height is
EH = AO + OP = (2 + 2) cm = 4 cm
So, the volume required = volume of the right circular cylinder – volume of the toy
= (3.14 × 22 × 4 – 25.12) cm3
= 25.12 cm3
Hence, the required difference of the two volumes = 25.12 cm3.

How are they made? If you want a candle of any special shape, you will have to heat the wax in a metal container till it becomes completely liquid. Then you will have to pour it into another container which has the special shape that you want. For example, take a candle in the shape of a solid cylinder, melt it and pour whole of the molten wax into another container shaped like a rabbit. On cooling, you will obtain a candle in the shape of the rabbit. The volume of the new candle will be the same as the volume of the earlier candle. This is what we have to remember when we come across objects which are converted from one shape to another, or when a liquid which originally filled one container of a particular shape is poured into another container of a different shape or size, as you see in
Fig. 13.18

Therefore, the radius of the sphere is 6 cm.

The sump has dimensions 1.57 m × 1.44 m × 95cm. The overhead tank has its radius 60 cm and height 95 cm. Find the height of the water left in the sump after the overhead tank has been completely filled with water from the sump which had been full. Compare the capacity of the tank with that of the sump.

Solution : The volume of water in the overhead tank equals the volume of the water removed from the sump.
Now, the volume of water in the overhead tank (cylinder) = πr2h
= 3.14 × 0.6 × 0.6 × 0.95 m3
The volume of water in the sump when full = l × b × h = 1.57 × 1.44 × 0.95 m3
The volume of water left in the sump after filling the tank
= [(1.57 × 1.44 × 0.95) – (3.14 × 0.6 × 0.6 × 0.95)] m3 = (1.57 × 0.6 × 0.6 × 0.95 × 2) m3

13.5 Frustum of a Cone
In Section 13.2, we observed objects that are formed when two basic solids were joined together. Let us now do something different. We will take a right circular cone and remove a portion of it. There are so many ways in which we can do this. But one particular case that we are interested in is the removal of a smaller right circular cone by cutting the given cone by a plane parallel to its base. You must have observed that the glasses (tumblers), in general, used for drinking water, are of this shape. (See Fig. 13.19)
Fig. 13.19
Activity 1 : Take some clay, or any other such material (like plasticine, etc.) and form a cone. Cut it with a knife parallel to its base. Remove the smaller cone. What are you left with?You are left with a solid called a frustum of the cone. You can see that this has two circular ends with different radii.
So, given a cone, when we slice (or cut) through it with a plane parallel to its base
(see Fig. 13.20) and remove the cone that is formed on one side of that plane, the part that is now left over on the other side of the plane is called a frustum* of the cone.

How can we find the surface area and volume of a frustum of a cone? Let us explain it through an example.
Example 12 : The radii of the ends of a frustum of a cone 45 cm high are 28 cm and 7 cm
(see Fig. 13.21). Find its volume, the curved surface area and the total suface area
(Take π =

22
).
7

Solution : The frustum can be viewed as a difference of two right circular cones OAB and
OCD (see Fig. 13.21). Let the height (in cm) of the cone OAB be h1 and its slant height l1,
i.e., OP = h1 and OA = OB = l1. Let h2 be the height of cone OCD and l2 its slant height.

Fig. 13.21

We have : r1 = 28 cm, r2 = 7 cm and the height of frustum (h) = 45 cm. Also, h1 = 45 + h2

(1)

We first need to determine the respective heights h1 and h2 of the cone OAB and OCD.
Since the triangles OPB and OQD are similar (Why?), we have

4 h1 28
=
=

h2
7

(2)

From (1) and (2), we get h2 = 15 and h1 = 60.
Now, the volume of the frustum
= volume of the cone OAB – volume of the cone OCD

⋅ (28)2 ⋅ (60) − ⋅
⋅ (7) 2 ⋅ (15) ⎥ cm3 = 48510 cm3

⎣3 7

The respective slant height l2 and l1 of the cones OCD and OAB are given by l2 =

(7) 2 + (15) 2 = 16.55 cm (approx.)

l1 =

(28) 2 + (60) 2 = 4 (7) 2 + (15) 2 = 4 × 16.55 = 66.20 cm

MATHEMATICS

Thus, the curved surface area of the frustum = πr1l1 – πr2l2

22
22
(28)(66.20) –
(7)(16.55) = 5461.5 cm 2

Now, the total surface area of the frustum

= 5461.5 cm2 + 2464 cm2 + 154 cm2 = 8079.5 cm2.
= 5461.5 cm2 +

Let h be the height, l the slant height and r1 and r2 the radii of the ends
(r1 > r2) of the frustum of a cone. Then we can directly find the volume, the curved surace area and the total surface area of frustum by using the formulae given below :

1 πh(r12 + r22 + r1r2 ) .
3
(ii) the curved surface area of the frustum of the cone = π(r1 + r2)l
(i) Volume of the frustum of the cone =

where l =

h 2 + (r1 − r2 ) 2 .

2
(iii) Total surface area of the frustum of the cone = πl (r1 + r2) + πr12 + πr2 ,

where l =

h 2 + (r1 − r2 ) 2 .

These formulae can be derived using the idea of similarity of triangles but we shall not be doing derivations here.
Let us solve Example 12, using these formulae :
(i) Volume of the frustum =

=

(

1 π h r12 + r22 + r1r2
3

)

1 22

⋅ 45 ⋅ ⎡(28)2 + (7)2 + (28) (7) ⎤ cm3

= 48510 cm3
(ii) We have

l=

(45) 2 + (28 − 7) 2 cm

So, the curved surface area of the frustum

Let us apply these formulae in some examples.
Example 13 : Hanumappa and his wife Gangamma are busy making jaggery out of sugarcane juice. They have processed the sugarcane juice to make the molasses, which is poured into moulds in the shape of a frustum of a cone having the diameters of its two circular faces as
30 cm and 35 cm and the vertical height of the mould is
14 cm (see Fig. 13.22). If each cm3 of molasses has mass about 1.2 g, find the mass of the molasses that can

Fig. 13.22

22 ⎞

be poured into each mould. ⎜ Take π =

7⎠

Solution : Since the mould is in the shape of a frustum of a cone, the quantity (volume) of molasses that can be poured into it =

π h ( r12 + r22 + r1 r2 ) ,
3

where r1 is the radius of the larger base and r2 is the radius of the smaller base.

⎡⎛ 35 ⎞2 ⎛ 30 ⎞2 ⎛ 35 30 ⎞ ⎤ 3

It is given that 1 cm3 of molasses has mass 1.2g. So, the mass of the molasses that can be poured into each mould = (11641.7 × 1.2) g
= 13970.04 g = 13.97 kg = 14 kg (approx.)

Example 14 : An open metal bucket is in the shape of a frustum of a cone, mounted on a hollow cylindrical base made of the same metallic sheet (see Fig. 13.23). The diameters of the two circular ends of the bucket are 45 cm and 25 cm, the total vertical height of the bucket is 40 cm and that of the cylindrical base is
6 cm. Find the area of the metallic sheet used to make the bucket, where we do not take into account the handle of the bucket. Also, find the volume of water the bucket can hold.

Fig. 13.23

22 ⎞

⎜ Take π = ⎟ .

7⎠
Solution : The total height of the bucket = 40 cm, which includes the height of the base. So, the height of the frustum of the cone = (40 – 6) cm = 34 cm.
Therefore, the slant height of the frustum, l =

h 2 + (r1 − r2 ) 2 ,

where r1 = 22.5 cm, r2 = 12.5 cm and h = 34 cm.
So,

l=
=

342 + (22.5 − 12.5) 2 cm
342 + 102 = 35.44 cm

The area of metallic sheet used = curved surface area of frustum of cone

Introduction Engineers nowadays are in demand to lots of companies here and abroad. In fact, thousands of engineering graduates and board passers work mostly in other countries. This is the reason why lots of students took engineering courses. Engineering has always been considered as a very difficult course by most of the students. It’s almost always the last thing that will come to the minds of the students when it comes to choosing their course or program. Engineering, as a program has a lot of difficulties within its name. There are lots of math and science subjects and instructional activities that students will really find it difficult to pass. It requires a great responsibility in achieving the title “Engineer”. Some students who are already taking up engineering doesn’t know the hardships that they are still about to face, that’s why a large number of students tend to have a low academic performances. The field of engineering has become so diverse in recent years that a definition is not easy to come by. Engineers still build skyscrapers, design machinery, and oversee public works.

Alternatives to Euclidean Goemetry

...Alternatives to Euclidean Geometry and Its Applications Negations to Euclid’s fifth postulate, known as the parallel postulate, give rise to the emergence of other types of geometries. Its existence stands in the respective models which their originators have imagined and designed them to be. The development of these geometries and its eventual recognition give humans some mathematical systems as alternative to Euclidean geometry. The controversial Euclid’s fifth postulate is phrased in this manner, to wit: “If a straight line crossing two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, the two straight lines, if extended indefinitely, meet on that side on which is the angles less than the two right angles.” which has been rephrased, and what is known as the parallel postulate as follows: “Given a line L and an external point P not on L, there exists a unique line m passing through P and parallel to L.” With the sphere as its model, is spherical (also called reimannian or elliptic) geometry being advanced by German mathematician, Bernhard Riemann who proposes the absence of a parallel line with Euclid’s fifth postulate as reference. His proposition is as follows: “ If L is any line and P is any point not on L, then there are no lines through P that are parallel to L” It contradicts Euclid’s fifth postulate mainly because no matter how careful one in constructing a line with a straightedge- as straight as it is- that line...

Egyptian Math

...Egyptian Math This is a math course and I am from Egypt so what better to talk about than the practice of mathematics during the ancient Egyptian era. The use of organized mathematics in Egypt has been dated back to the third millennium BC. Egyptian mathematics was dominated by arithmetic, with an emphasis on measurement and calculation in geometry. With their vast knowledge of geometry, they were able to correctly calculate the areas of triangles, rectangles, and trapezoids and the volumes of figures such as bricks, cylinders, and pyramids. They were also able to build the Great Pyramid with extreme accuracy. Early surveyors found that the maximum error in fixing the length of the sides was only 0.63 of an inch, or less than 1/14000 of the total length. They also found that the error of the angles at the corners to be only 12", or about 1/27000 of a right angle (Smith 43). Three theories from mathematics were found to have been used in building the Great Pyramid. The first theory states that four equilateral triangles were placed together to build the pyramidal surface. The second theory states that the ratio of one of the sides to half of the height is the approximate value of P, or that the ratio of the perimeter to the height is 2P. It has been discovered that early pyramid builders may have conceived the idea that P equaled about 3.14. The third theory states that the angle of elevation of the passage leading to the principal chamber determines the latitude of...

Motets Vs Machaut Research Paper

...similar to another major composer of the time, Du Fay, but were different in four major ways. First, there were four voices in independent lines with a contrapuntal texture. Second, the bass part would go lower; and third, this would leave the music sounding fuller and darker. And lastly, Ockeghem tried to vary his music by leaving independent sections of duet or trio. Ockeghem’s masses are distinct in sound because of the fuller and darker texture, and he began an expansion of the range in masses. Johannes Ockeghem had two major masses that were important: Missa Cuiusvis Toni and Missa Prolationum. The former was famous because it can be sung in any mode for example 1, 3, 5, or 7. The latter is important because each movement is a double mensuration canon. Missa Prolationum is a musical composition that, “has been prized for over five hundred years for addressing two audiences simultaneously [...] well: the singers and other musical connoisseurs [...], and listeners.” These notable missal compositions represent the free feeling of the Renaissance compared to earlier music in the church, even though it still followed a strict form. Many compositions during the Renaissance period were adapted and played in many different manners, making the music have a more universal feel as well. Prior to the Renaissance, sacred music tended to be compliant to a certain form, or formes fixes. However, the Renaissance brought about a change in that imitative counterpoint became commonly used. Imitative...

The Importance Of Sustainable Forest Management

...forestry as forest areas need to be adequately managed. As Young (1982) stated a long time ago, management of the forest for multiple land use is now common. This is due to the encroachment of forest areas and illegal felling in the protected forest areas. This brings about the determination of the use of the forest, forest land and forest products to ensure that the benefits derived today are similarly obtained in the future. Adekunle et al (2013), indicated that since the knowledge of tree growth parameters plus yield is very essential for effective forest management; data for the growth/ yield parameters can be obtained through field inventory by recording diameters and height along the stem or bole of a tree (Tonolli et al, 2011) Forest mensuration forms the basis for Sustainable Forest Management as it is the assessment of both quality and quantity of available forest resources needed for management. This can be done through Volume equations, Volume models, Volume estimation, Diameter-height relationship etc. They are needed to obtain reliable and up-to-date estimates of the forest stock. Adekunle (2005) noted that it is the best and reliable procedure for volume estimation of trees and is based on the relationship between volume and other variables such as diameter (diameter at the top, diameter at the middle, diameter at the base & diameter at breast height) and height (total & merchantable height) Hence, this paper is discussing adequately the roles of different volume models...

Finish by stating your own opinion regarding the reading. There is no answer key for this assignment. Note: Roded 7 doesn’t really go into the topic in depth, but has a detailed view on the topic of purity on the whole. Include the entire topic in your summary of that chapter below. 1. Roded Chapter 7 a. Position defended: Pro b. Time period: traditional c. Rationale/details: Purity is very important. Many of the older women were considered to be unclean.
