Surface area and volume — practice question

A sphere of radius $r$ lies inside a closed cylinder with radius $r$ and height $2r$. [The volume, $V$, of a sphere with radius $r$ is $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$.]
(a(i))[3]

Calculate the volume of the region inside the cylinder that is not filled by the sphere.

(a(ii))[3]

Find $r$ when the volume inside the cylinder not occupied by the sphere is $36\text{ cm}^3$.

(b(i))[4]

Calculate the cost required to paint the cone.

(b(ii))[3]

Calculate how many smaller cones can be made.
