A composite solid is made from a cylinder and two hemispheres. The cylinder has radius pp and length 2p2p, while the hemispheres have radius pp. The total surface area of the solid is six times the total surface area of a solid cone with radius pp and slant height ll. Find ll in terms of pp.

1. Find the total external surface area of the composite solid.

The two hemispheres form one complete sphere of radius pp.

Curved surface area of cylinder:
2πrh=2π(p)(2p)=4πp22\pi rh=2\pi(p)(2p)=4\pi p^2

Surface area of two hemispheres:
4πp24\pi p^2

Total surface area of composite solid:
4πp2+4πp2=8πp24\pi p^2+4\pi p^2=8\pi p^2

2. Write the total surface area of the cone and form an equation.

Total surface area of cone:
πr2+πrl=πp2+πpl\pi r^2+\pi rl=\pi p^2+\pi pl

Given that the composite solid's surface area is six times the cone's total surface area,
8πp2=6(πp2+πpl)8\pi p^2=6(\pi p^2+\pi pl)

3. Solve the equation for $l$ in terms of $p$.

8πp2=6πp2+6πpl8\pi p^2=6\pi p^2+6\pi pl
2πp2=6πpl2\pi p^2=6\pi pl
l=2πp26πp=p3l=\frac{2\pi p^2}{6\pi p}=\frac{p}{3}

Answer

l=p3l=\dfrac{p}{3}
