20. Mathematics teacher of a school took her 9th standard students to show Gol Gumbaz. It was a part of
their Educational trip. The teacher had interest in history as well. She narrated the facts of Gol
Gumbaz to students. Gol Gumbaz is the tomb of king Muhammad Adil Shah, Adil Shah Dynasty.
Construction of the tomb, located in Vijayapura, Karnataka, India, was started in 1626 and
completed in 1656. It reaches up to 51 meters in height while the giant dome has an external
diameter of 44 meters, making it one of the largest domes ever built. At each of the four corners of
the cube is a dome shaped octagonal tower seven stories high with a staircase inside.

Read the above passage and answer the questions

(i) What is the curved surface area of hemispherical dome? (1)
(ii) What is the height of the cuboidal part? (1)
(iii) What is the circumference of the base of the dome? (1)
(iv) Find the total surface area of the hemispherical dome having radius 7m including base. (1)
