    According to question r1 + r2 = 10 ... (i)

    4
    π (r1³ + r2³) = 880
    3

    ⇒ r1³ + r2³ =
    880 × 3 × 7
    = 210......(ii)
    22 × 4
    \ (r1+ r2)3 = 1000 Þr13+ r23 + 3r1r2 (r1+ r2) = 1000 Þ210 + 3r1r2 (10) = 1000 Þ30r1r2 = 1000 – 210 = 790
    ⇒ (r1 + r2)³ = 1000
    ⇒ r1³ + r2³ + 3r1r2(r1 + r2) = 1000
    210 + 3r1r2 (10) = 1000
    ⇒ r1r2 =

  1. The total surface area of a solid hemisphere is 108π cm². The volume of the hemisphere is









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    If the radius of the solid hemisphere be r cm,
    then total surface area = 3πr²
    ⇒ 3πr² = 108π

    ⇒ r² =
    108
    = 36
    3

    ⇒ r = √36 = 6 cm
    ∴ Volume of the hemisphere =
    2
    πr³
    3

    ∴ Volume of the hemisphere =
    2
    π × 6 × 6 × 6 = 144π cubic cm.
