Re: 10 second questions

Hi bobbym,

The solutions 2293, 2294, 2295, and 2296 are perfectly right. Excellent!

#2297. The circumference of the edge of a hemispherical bowl is 132 cm. Find its capacity.

#2298. A plastic doll is made by surmounting a cone on a hemisphere of equal radius whose radius is 7 cm and slant height is 11 cm. Find the surface area of the doll.

#2299. A hollow spherical shell is made of a metal of weight 4.2 gm per cubic cm. If its internal and external radii are 10 cm and 11 cm, find its weight.

Re: 10 second questions

Hi ganesh;

That's better than what I did. I used that formula ( n - 2 )180 where n is the number of sides and reasoned like this

3 interior angles ( 120 + 125 + 130 ) / 180 is not an integer , so I tried


4 interior angles ( 120 + 125 + 130 + 135 ) / 180 is not an integer, I kept this up until I got to 160
.
.
.

9 interior angles ( 120 + 125 + 130 + 135 + ... + 160 ) / 180 = 7 an integer!  9 interior angles means 9 sides.
