The question, in short

Find the total surface area of a solid formed by a hemisphere of radius 6 cm on a cylinder of radius 6 cm and height 5 cm, giving the answer in terms of π.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 4 marks

  1. 1Curved hemisphere = 1/2 × 4 × π × 6² = 72π
  2. 2Base circle = π × 6² = 36π
  3. 3Curved cylinder = 2 × π × 6 × 5 = 60π
  4. 4Total = 72π + 36π + 60π = 168π cm²
