A pillar is made using a cylinder surmounted by a cone which is to be painted. The total height of the pillar is 10.25 feet and that of the cylinder is 6.25 feet. If the base area of the cylinder is 47 square feet, then what will be the area to be painted?



Answer :

Answer:

Okay, let's break down the problem and solve it step by step:

Understand the given information:

The pillar consists of a cylinder and a cone on top of it.

The total height of the pillar is 10.25 feet.

The height of the cylinder is 6.25 feet.

The base area of the cylinder is 47 square feet.

Calculate the height of the cone:

Height of the cone = Total height of the pillar - Height of the cylinder

Height of the cone = 10.25 feet - 6.25 feet = 4 feet

Calculate the radius of the cylinder (and the base of the cone):

Base area of the cylinder = π × radius²

47 = π × radius²

47 ÷ π = radius²

radius² = 47 ÷ π ≈ 14.96

radius = √(47 ÷ π) ≈ 3.87 feet

Calculate the slant height of the cone:

slant height² = radius² + height of the cone²

slant height² = 3.87² + 4² = 14.96 + 16 = 30.96

slant height = √30.96 ≈ 5.56 feet

Calculate the area to be painted:

Area to be painted = Curved surface area of the cylinder + Curved surface area of the cone

Curved surface area of the cylinder = 2 × π × radius × height of the cylinder

Curved surface area of the cylinder = 2 × π × 3.87 × 6.25 ≈ 152.17 square feet

Curved surface area of the cone = π × radius × slant height

Curved surface area of the cone = π × 3.87 × 5.56 ≈ 67.61 square feet

Total area to be painted = 152.17 + 67.61 ≈ 219.78 square feet

Therefore, the area to be painted on the pillar is approximately 219.78 square feet.
