Error Analysis

1.

Priya solved this problem:

"A hemisphere of radius 5 cm sits on top of a cylinder of radius 5 cm and height 8 cm. Find the total exterior surface area."

Priya's work:

  1. Cylinder total SA: 2π(5)(8)+2π(5)2=80π+50π=130π2\pi(5)(8) + 2\pi(5)^2 = 80\pi + 50\pi = 130\pi
  2. Hemisphere total SA: 2π(5)2+π(5)2=50π+25π=75π2\pi(5)^2 + \pi(5)^2 = 50\pi + 25\pi = 75\pi
  3. Total: 130π+75π=205π130\pi + 75\pi = 205\pi cm²

What error did Priya make, and what is the correct surface area?

2.

Marcus solved this problem:

"A hemisphere of radius 6 cm sits on top of a cylinder of radius 6 cm and height 5 cm. Find the total volume."

Marcus's work:

  1. Cylinder: V=π(6)2(5)=180πV = \pi(6)^2(5) = 180\pi
  2. Hemisphere: V=43π(6)3=43π(216)=288πV = \frac{4}{3}\pi(6)^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi(216) = 288\pi
  3. Total: 180π+288π=468π180\pi + 288\pi = 468\pi cm³

What error did Marcus make, and what is the correct volume?

Challenge / Extension

A trophy made of three stacked parts: a cylinder (r = 4 cm, h = 6 cm) at the bottom, a cone (h = 9 cm) in the middle, and a hemisphere on top, all with the same radius.
1.

A trophy is made of three parts stacked vertically: a cylinder (radius 4 cm, height 6 cm) on the bottom, a cone (radius 4 cm, height 9 cm) in the middle, and a hemisphere (radius 4 cm) on top. What is the total volume? Express your answer in terms of π\pi.

2.

Explain why computing the volume of a composite figure does not require any contact-area adjustment, while computing the surface area does.
