Question 11 Mensuration Exercise 17.3

The radius of a spherical balloon increases from 7 cm to 14 cm as air is jumped into it. Find the ratio of the surface areas of the balloon in two cases.

Answer:

Solution:

The curved surface area is equal to the whole area of the sphere since the sphere is completely curved.

Given radius of the spherical balloon, r = 7 cm

Radius of the spherical balloon after air is pumped, R = 14 cm

Surface area of the sphere = 4π r2

Ratio of surface areas of the balloons =

4π r2/4π R2

= r2/R2

= 72/142

= 1/4

Hence the ratio of the surface areas of the spheres is 1:4. M L Aggarwal - Understanding ICSE Mathematics - Class 10 chapter Mensuration Question 11 Solution image
