Answer» Answer: Step-by-step explanation: the shape of the capsule = 2 HEMISPHERE + 1 cylinder Length of the capsule = 14 mm Width of the capsule = 5 mm To find, The total surface area of the given capsule. Solution, The base diameter of the HEMISPHERES = 5 mm The radius of the hemispheres = 5/2 = 2.5 mm The height of the hemisphere = 2.5 mm The total height of the hemispheres = 2.5×2 = 5 mm The height of cylinder = 14-5 = 9 mm Surface area of cylinder = 2 × 22/7 × 2.5 × 9 = 141.42 mm² Curved surface area of one hemisphere = 2 × 22/7 × (2.5)² = 2×22/7×6.25 = 39.28 mm² CSA of two hemispheres = 39.28 × 2 = 78.56 mm² Total surface area = 141.42 + 78.56 = 219.98 mm² The approximate surface area of the capsule is 219.98 mm². |
