The figure shows a solid of height 7 cm. It is composed of a hemisphere and a cylinder with base radius 1 cm. (a) Find the volume of the solid. (b) Find the total surface area of the solid. (Express your answers in terms of .) 7 cm 1 cm Similar Solids Definition of similar solids: Two solid are similar if (1) they have the same shape. (2) their corresponding sides are in proportion. For example, let’s consider cones. The volume of the cone’s formula is height(h). Two cones are similar if 1 2 r h . So it depends on the radius(r) and the 3 r1 h1 . r2 h2 We can clearly say, all cubes are similar solids because the volume of cube depends on 1 side only, as well as the spheres. Example 3 Determine the following pairs of solids are similar or not. (a) (b) 4 (c) (d) Answer (a) They are not similar because they do not have the same shape. (b) They are not similar. Although they have the same shape, r1 4 h 5 2 and 1 , their corresponding sides are not in proportion. r2 2 h2 3 (c) r1 8 h 6 2 , 1 2 , so they are similar solids. r2 4 h2 3 (d) For spheres, because their measurations only depend on 1 parameter, radius. So they must be similar solids. For any two similar solids, if the ratio of their corresponding sides (i) the ratio of any sides l1 , then l2 l1 ; l2 l (ii) the ratio of their areas ( 1 ) 2 ; l2 l (iii) the ratio of any sides ( 1 ) 3 . l2 5 Example 4 The height of a pyramid is 3 cm and the volume is 270 cm3 . What is the volume of a similar pyramid of height 5 cm? Answer V o l u m e o f t h e la r g e p y r a mi d 5 ( )3 V o l u m e o f t h e s m a ll p y r a mi d 3 5 ∴ Volume of the large pyramid [( )3 270] cm 3 3 1250 cm 3 Note: We cannot use the formula directly since we do not know the length of the radius. Example 5 The figure shows two similar solids A and B. Each of them is composed of a right circular cone and a hemisphere. The base radii of the cone of solid A and solid B are 3 cm and 9 cm respectively. Find the ratio of the volume of solid A to that of solid B.
