Hints

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

Hint 1

The total height includes the radius of the hemisphere; subtract it to get the cone's height.

Hint 2

Only curved surfaces are visible: CSA of hemisphere plus CSA of cone .

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 cone = radius of hemisphere cm. Height of cone cm.

    1 mark
  2. Slant height cm

    1 mark
  3. Surface area of toy = CSA of hemisphere + CSA of cone

    ½ mark
  4. 2 marks
  5. cm²

    ½ mark

Answer: 858 cm²

Where the marks are

  • Height of cone 24 cm (1 mark)
  • Slant height 25 cm (1 mark)
  • Surface area = CSA of hemisphere + CSA of cone (½ mark)
  • Correct substitution (2 marks)
  • Answer 858 cm² (½ mark)
