A hemi-spherical dome of a building needs to be painted. IF the circumference of the base of the dome is 17.6 m, find the cost of painting it, given the cost of painting is Rs. 5 per 100 cm2.

Answer»

Circumference of a circle = 2πr 

Surface area of a hemisphere = 2πr2 

Given, 

base of the dome is 17.16 m 

⇒ 2 × (22/7) × r = 17.6 

⇒ r = 2.8 m 

Surface area of the hemisphere = 2 × (22/7) × 2.82 

= 49.28 m2 

= 492800 cm2 

Cost of painting is Rs. 5 per 100 cm2

Cost of painting the dome = (492800/100) × 5 

= Rs. 24640
