A rectangular swimming pool has a length of \( 25 \text{ m} \) and a width of \( 10 \text{ m} \). The pool is filled with water to a uniform depth of \( 2 \text{ m} \).

(a) Calculate the volume of water in the pool in cubic meters (\( \text{m}^3 \)).
(b) Find the total surface area of the interior of the pool (the bottom and the four side walls) that is in contact with the water.

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 10

5 marks

A right circular cone and a hemisphere share a common circular base with a radius of \( 6 \text{ cm} \). The vertical height of the cone is \( 8 \text{ cm} \).

(a) Find the slant height of the cone.
(b) Calculate the total volume of the composite solid in terms of \( \pi \).
(c) Calculate the total surface area of the exterior of the solid in terms of \( \pi \).
