To solve the problem, we need to find the values of the radius \( r \) and the height \( h \) of the solid formed by a hemisphere and a cylinder. The total height of the solid is given as 18 cm, and the surface area is 205π cm².
Understanding the Components
The solid consists of two parts:
- A hemisphere with radius \( r \)
- A cylinder with radius \( r \) and height \( h \)
Height Relationship
The total height of the solid can be expressed as:
Height of the solid = Height of the cylinder + Radius of the hemisphere
This gives us the equation:
h + r = 18
Surface Area Calculation
The surface area of the solid includes the curved surface area of the cylinder, the curved surface area of the hemisphere, and the base area of the cylinder. The formula for the surface area is:
Surface Area = 2πrh + 2πr² + πr²
Combining the terms, we have:
Surface Area = 2πrh + 3πr²
Setting this equal to the given surface area:
2πrh + 3πr² = 205π
Dividing through by π simplifies to:
2rh + 3r² = 205
Solving the Equations
Now we have two equations:
- 1. \( h + r = 18 \)
- 2. \( 2rh + 3r² = 205 \)
From the first equation, we can express \( h \) in terms of \( r \):
h = 18 - r
Substituting this into the second equation gives:
2r(18 - r) + 3r² = 205
Expanding this results in:
36r - 2r² + 3r² = 205
Combining like terms leads to:
r² + 36r - 205 = 0
Finding the Roots
Using the quadratic formula \( r = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b² - 4ac}}{2a} \), where \( a = 1, b = 36, c = -205 \):
r = \frac{-36 \pm \sqrt{36² - 4(1)(-205)}}{2(1)}
Calculating the discriminant:
36² + 820 = 1296
Thus, we find:
r = \frac{-36 \pm 36}{2}
This gives us two potential solutions for \( r \): \( r = 0 \) or \( r = 5 \). Since \( r \) must be positive, we have:
r = 5 cm
Calculating Height
Substituting \( r \) back into the height equation:
h = 18 - 5 = 13 cm
Final Values
The values we found are:
- Radius (r): 5 cm
- Height (h): 13 cm
