national holiday. They went to see Humanyun tomb which match to a
hemisphere. The teacher showed the students combination of solid shapes
of mathematical importance. They also saw cylindrical pillars and guessed
its radius. They wanted to know some answers of their questions. Read the
following questions and answer them.
