Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

The solid is a hemisphere plus a cone with the same radius, half of 7 cm.

Hint 2

Add (2/3)πr³ and (1/3)πr²h with h = r = 3.5 cm.

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. Radius of hemisphere = radius of cone cm.

    1 mark
  2. Height of cone cm.

    ½ mark
  3. Volume of solid = volume of hemisphere + volume of cone

    1½ marks
  4. 1½ marks
  5. ½ mark

Answer: Volume = 539/4 cm³ = 134.75 cm³

Where the marks are

  • Radius = 7/2 cm (1 mark)
  • Height of cone = 7/2 cm (½ mark)
  • Volume = hemisphere + cone, with correct formulas and substitution (3 marks)
  • Final volume 134.75 cm³ (½ mark)
