QUESTION 7

A fowl run is designed in the shape of a cone. A hemispherical bowl of water is placed
close by for the chickens to drink from it. The cone and the hemisphere are drawn as
shown below.

h s
radius = x

radius = x

Total surface area of a cone =  r 2 +  r s, where s is the slant height of the cone.
Total surface area of the hemisphere = 3 r 2 .

The radius of both the cone and the hemisphere is given as x units and it is further
given that the total surface area of the cone = total surface area of the hemisphere .
Find an expression for h, the height of the cone, in terms of x. (4)
