From a solid cylinder of height 2.8 cm and diameter 4.2 cm, a conical cavity of the same height and same diameter is hollowed out. Find the total surface area of the remaining solid.

Height of solid cylinder = h = 2.8 cm


Diameter of solid cylinder = 4.2 cm


Radius of solid cylinder = r = Diameter ÷ 2 = 2.1 cm


Curved Surface area of solid cylinder = 2πrh


= 2 × 22/7 × 2.1 × 2.8 cm2


= 2 × 22/7 × 2.1 × 2.8 cm2


= 36.96 cm2


Height of conical cavity = h = 2.8 cm


Radius conical cavity = r = 2.1 cm


Let l be the slant height of conical cavity


l2 = r2 + h2


l2 = (2.82 + 2.12) cm2


l2 = (7.84 + 4.41) cm2


l2 = 12.25 cm2


l = 3.5 cm


Curved Surface area of conical cavity = πrl


= 22/7 × 2.1 × 3.5


= 23.1 cm2


Total surface area of remaining solid = Curved surface area of solid cylinder + Curved surface area of conical cavity + Area of circular base


Total surface area of remaining solid = (36.96 + 23.1 + 22/7 × 2.12) cm2


= (36.96 + 23.1 + 13.86) cm2


= 73.92 cm2
