1. Rubber bungs are made by removing the tops of cones. Starting with a cone of radius 10cm and height 16cm, a rubber bungs made by cutting a cone of radius 5 cm and height 8cm from the top. Find the volume and total surface area of the rubber bung. They start with a rubber cone whose cross section is like this: /|\ / | \ S / | \ / |16 \ / | \ /_____|_____\ 10 This has a volume of pr³/3 = p(10)³/3 = 1000p/3 Its surface area is found by Lateral Surface Area = prS, where S = slant height (Note: Lateral Surface Area does not include the circular base) Lateral Surface Area = prS = p(10)S = 10pS _______ ___________ _______ ___ _____ __ S = Ör² + h² = Ö(10)²+(15)² = Ö100+225 = Ö325 = Ö25·13 = 5Ö13 __ __ Lateral Surface Area = prS = 10p(5Ö13) = 50pÖ13 Base (circle) Surface Area = pr² = p(10)² = 100p Total Surface Area = Lateral surface area + Base surface area __ __ Total Surface Area = 50pÖ13 + 100p = 50p(Ö13 + 2) ------------------------------------------------------ Then they cut away a rubber cone whose cross section is like this: /|\ S / |8\ /__|__\ 5 This has a volume of pr³/3 = p(5)³/3 = 125p/3 Its surface area is found by Lateral Surface Area = prS, where S = slant height Lateral Surface Area = prS = p(5)S = 5pS _______ _________ _____ __ S = Ör² + h² = Ö(5)²+(8)² = Ö25+64 = Ö89 __ __ Lateral Surface Area = prS = 5p(Ö89) = 5pÖ89 Note: They cut away only the lateral surface area of this small cone. (Its base circle must then be added to find the total surface area of the bung) ----------------------------------------- They end up with a rubber bung whose cross section is like this: _5_____ / | \ / | \ /_____|_____\ 10 Volume of bung = Volume of large cone - Volume of small cone Volume of bung = 1000p/3 - 125p/3 = 875p/3 That's approximately 916.3 cubic centimeters. Total Surface Area of bung = Total Surface Area of large Cone - Lateral Surface Area only of small Cone + Area of base of small cone (circular top of bung) Area of circular top of bung = pr² = p(5)² = 25p __ __ Total Surface Area of bung = 50p(Ö13 + 2) - 5pÖ89 + 25p __ __ Total Surface Area of bung = 5p[10(Ö13 + 2) - Ö89 + 5] __ __ Total Surface Area of bung = 5p[10Ö13 + 20 - Ö89 + 5] __ __ Total Surface Area of bung = 5p(10Ö13 - Ö89 + 25) That's approximately 810.9 square centimeters. ----------------------------------------- Edwin
