  The figure shows a water tank which consists of a hemispherical part surmounted on top of a cylindrical part. The two parts have the same diameter of 2.1 M and the cylindrical part is 1.5 m high as shown. All surfaces of the tank are made of iron sheets. (Take π = 22/7)
  
  
  (a) Allowing for 15% wastage in overlapping, calculate to 2d.p the area of iron sheets required.
  (b) Ironsheet costs sh.400 per square meter while labour and other. Materials amountsto 50% of the cost of ironsheets. Find the cost of constructing the tank.
  
  (c) Calculate the (i) volume of the tank in m³
  
  (ii) capacity of the tank in litres.
