 QUESTION 7

 A fowl run is designed in the shape of a cone. A hemispherical bowl of water is placed
 close by for the chickens to drink from it. The cone and the hemisphere are drawn as
 shown below.

                     h       s
                                                                   radius = x

                       radius = x

       Total surface area of a cone =  r 2 +  r s, where s is the slant height of the cone.
       Total surface area of the hemisphere = 3 r 2 .

       The radius of both the cone and the hemisphere is given as x units and it is further
       given that the total surface area of the cone = total surface area of the hemisphere .
       Find an expression for h, the height of the cone, in terms of x.                             (4)
                                                                                                    [4]

                                                                                      TOTAL:       100
