water in the basin

Geometry Level 1

A basin made of plastic has an upper base diameter of 30 cm, a lower base diameter of 20 cm and a height of 10 cm. It is filled with water at a height of 4 cm. How much area of the basin (in square cm) is wet?

Note: Neglect the thickness of the basin.

100 π 100\pi 44 5 π + 100 π 44\sqrt{5}\pi +100\pi 22 5 π + 325 π 22\sqrt{5}\pi +325\pi 44 5 π 44\sqrt{5}\pi

From the similar triangles on the left side, we get x 4 = 5 10 x = 2 R = 12 \dfrac{x}{4} = \dfrac{5}{10} \implies x = 2 \implies R = 12 .

The wet area is the area of the lower base and the curved surface area of the frustum ; the latter's formula is π ( R + r ) ( R r ) 2 + h 2 \pi (R + r) \sqrt{(R - r)^2 + h^2} .

Thus the wet area is

π ( R + r ) ( R r ) 2 + h 2 + π r 2 = π ( 12 + 10 ) ( 12 10 ) 2 + 4 2 + π ( 1 0 2 ) = 44 5 π + 100 π \pi (R + r) \sqrt{(R - r)^2 + h^2} + \pi r^2 = \pi (12 + 10) \sqrt{(12 - 10)^2 + 4^2} + \pi (10^2) = \boxed{44 \sqrt{5} \pi + 100 \pi}
