Solution:
Let the radius of the dome be r.
Internal diameter = 2r
Given internal diameter is equal to total height.
Total height of the building = 2r
Height of the hemispherical area = r
So height of cylindrical area, h = 2r-r = r
Volume of the building = Volume of cylindrical area + volume of hemispherical area
= r2h + (2/3)r3
= r3+ (2/3)r3 [∵h = r]
= r3 (1+2/3)
= r3 (3+2)/3
= (5/3)r3
Given Volume of the building =
= 880/21
(5/3)r3= 880/21
(5/3)×(22/7)×r3= 880/21
r3 = 880×3×7/(5×22×21)
r3 = 880/110
r3 = 8
Taking cube root
r = 2 m
Height of the building = 2r = 2×2 = 4m
Hence the height of the building is 4m.
