Question 13 Marks
A dome of a building is in the form of a hemisphere. From inside, it was white$-$washed at the cost of $Rs. 4989.60$. If the cost of white$-$washing is $Rs. 20$ per square metre. Find the
$i.$ inside surface area of the dome.
$ii.$ Volume of the air inside the dome.
$i.$ inside surface area of the dome.
$ii.$ Volume of the air inside the dome.

View full question & answer→Inside surface area of the dome $=\frac{4989.60}{20}=249.48\ m^2$
Let the radius of the hemisphere be $rm .$
Inside surface area $=249.48\ m^2$
$\Rightarrow 2 \pi r^2=249.48$
$\Rightarrow 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r^2=249.48$
$\Rightarrow r^2=\frac{249.48 \times 7}{2 \times 22}$
$\Rightarrow r^2=39.69$
$\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{39.69}$
$\Rightarrow r=6.3\ m$
$\therefore$ Volume of the air inside the dome $=\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3$
$=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times(6.3)^3=523.9\ m^3$
