A hemispherical dome ,open at the base is made from a sheet from of fibre. If the radius of the hemispherical dome is 40 cm and 13/170 part of the fibre is actually wasted in making the dome , find the cost of the dome at the rate of Rs. 35 per 100 cm2 (use pi = 3.14)

Given: Radius of hemisphere =40cm

SA of hemisphere =

Now,

Let the area of fibre sheet = x.....(i)

Also, 13/170 of fibre sheet actually used was wasted in making the dome, then 

area of fibre sheet=

∴From (i) & (ii), we get,

Thus, the cost of dome at the rate of Rs. 35 per 100 is
