1. **Problem statement:**
We have a solid made of a conical frustum with a hemispherical top. Given:
- Top radius of frustum and hemisphere $r=3.5$ cm
- Bottom radius of frustum $R=4.2$ cm
- Slant height of frustum $l=8$ cm
- Frustum height $h$ cm (unknown)
We need to find:
(a) Surface area of the solid
(b) Radius of base for a similar solid with surface area 81.51 cm²
(c) (i) Height $h$ of the frustum
(ii) Volume of the solid

2. **Formulas and rules:**
- Surface area of conical frustum (lateral only):
$$A_{frustum} = \pi (R + r) l$$
- Surface area of hemisphere (curved surface only):
$$A_{hemisphere} = 2 \pi r^2$$
- Total surface area of solid (excluding base of frustum since hemisphere covers top):
$$A_{total} = A_{frustum} + A_{hemisphere} + \text{area of base circle} = \pi (R + r) l + 2 \pi r^2 + \pi R^2$$
- Height of frustum from Pythagoras:
$$h = \sqrt{l^2 - (R - r)^2}$$
- Volume of frustum:
$$V_{frustum} = \frac{1}{3} \pi h (R^2 + Rr + r^2)$$
- Volume of hemisphere:
$$V_{hemisphere} = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3$$
- Total volume:
$$V = V_{frustum} + V_{hemisphere}$$

3. **Calculate surface area (a):**
Given $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$
Calculate lateral surface area of frustum:
$$A_{frustum} = \pi (R + r) l = \frac{22}{7} (4.2 + 3.5) \times 8 = \frac{22}{7} \times 7.7 \times 8$$
Calculate:
$$\frac{22}{7} \times 7.7 = 22 \times 1.1 = 24.2$$
So,
$$A_{frustum} = 24.2 \times 8 = 193.6 \text{ cm}^2$$
Calculate hemisphere surface area:
$$A_{hemisphere} = 2 \pi r^2 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times (3.5)^2 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 12.25$$
Calculate:
$$\frac{22}{7} \times 12.25 = 22 \times 1.75 = 38.5$$
So,
$$A_{hemisphere} = 2 \times 38.5 = 77 \text{ cm}^2$$
Calculate base area:
$$A_{base} = \pi R^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times (4.2)^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 17.64$$
Calculate:
$$\frac{22}{7} \times 17.64 = 22 \times 2.52 = 55.44$$
Total surface area:
$$A_{total} = 193.6 + 77 + 55.44 = 326.04 \text{ cm}^2$$

4. **Find height $h$ of frustum (c)(i):**
Use Pythagoras:
$$h = \sqrt{l^2 - (R - r)^2} = \sqrt{8^2 - (4.2 - 3.5)^2} = \sqrt{64 - 0.7^2} = \sqrt{64 - 0.49} = \sqrt{63.51}$$
Calculate:
$$h \approx 7.97 \text{ cm}$$
---
5. **Find volume of solid (c)(ii):**
Calculate volume of frustum:
$$V_{frustum} = \frac{1}{3} \pi h (R^2 + Rr + r^2) = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7.97 \times (4.2^2 + 4.2 \times 3.5 + 3.5^2)$$
Calculate inside parentheses:
$$4.2^2 = 17.64, \quad 4.2 \times 3.5 = 14.7, \quad 3.5^2 = 12.25$$
Sum:
$$17.64 + 14.7 + 12.25 = 44.59$$
Calculate volume:
$$V_{frustum} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7.97 \times 44.59$$
Calculate stepwise:
$$\frac{22}{7} \times 7.97 = 22 \times 1.1386 = 25.05$$
Then:
$$V_{frustum} = \frac{1}{3} \times 25.05 \times 44.59 = \frac{1}{3} \times 1117.5 = 372.5 \text{ cm}^3$$
Calculate volume of hemisphere:
$$V_{hemisphere} = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (3.5)^3 = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 42.875$$
Calculate:
$$\frac{22}{7} \times 42.875 = 22 \times 6.125 = 134.75$$
So,
$$V_{hemisphere} = \frac{2}{3} \times 134.75 = 89.83 \text{ cm}^3$$
Total volume:
$$V = 372.5 + 89.83 = 462.33 \text{ cm}^3$$

6. **Find radius of base for similar solid with surface area 81.51 cm² (b):**
For similar solids, all linear dimensions scale by factor $k$.
Surface area scales by $k^2$.
Given original surface area $A_1 = 326.04$ cm² and new surface area $A_2 = 81.51$ cm²,
$$k^2 = \frac{A_2}{A_1} = \frac{81.51}{326.04} = 0.25$$
So,
$$k = \sqrt{0.25} = 0.5$$
Radius of base scales by $k$:
$$R_{new} = k R = 0.5 \times 4.2 = 2.1 \approx 2 \text{ cm (nearest whole number)}$$
