9. Example: 5 A sporting goods store sells exercise balls in
two sizes, standard (22-in. diameter) and
jumbo (34-in. diameter). How many times as
great is the volume of a jumbo ball as the
volume of a standard ball?
standard ball:
jumbo ball:
A jumbo ball is about 3.7 times as great
in volume as a standard ball.

18. Example: 13
Find the surface area and volume of the composite figure. Give your answer in terms of .
Step 1 Find the surface area of the composite figure.
The surface area of the composite figure is the sum of the curved surface area of the hemisphere, the lateral area of the cylinder, and the base area of the cylinder.

19. Example: 13 continued
Find the surface area and volume of the composite figure. Give your answer in terms of .
L(cylinder) = 2rh = 2(6)(9) = 108 in2
B (cylinder) = r2 = (6)2 = 36 in2
The surface area of the composite figure is
S = 72 + 108 + 36 = 216 in2.

20. Example: 13 continued
Find the surface area and volume of the composite figure. Give your answer in terms of .
Step 2 Find the volume of the composite figure.
The volume of the composite figure is the sum of the volume of the hemisphere and the volume of the cylinder.
The volume of the composite figure is 144 + 324 = 468 in3.

21. Example: 14
Find the surface area and volume of the composite figure (an empty
hemisphere inscribed in a cylinder).
Step 1 Find the surface area of the composite figure.
The surface area of the composite figure is the sum of the curved surface area of the hemisphere, the lateral area of the cylinder, and the base area of the cylinder.

22. Example: 14 continued
Find the surface area and volume of the composite figure.
L(cylinder) = 2rh = 2(3)(5) = 30 ft2
B(cylinder) = r2 = (3)2 = 9 ft2
The surface area of the composite figure is
