Question
Which surfaces are actually exposed? Solve each object before moving to the next one. The touching faces are hidden.
Total length 17 cm · radius 3.5 cm
exposed outside hidden join
A capsule-shaped model has total length and radius . It is a cylinder with one hemisphere at each end. What is its total outer surface area? Use .
What you will learn
Identify every painted outer surface, exclude hidden joins, and calculate the area for three different joined solids.
Common mistake to avoid
Adding the total surface areas of the separate solids counts circular faces that are hidden after joining.
