A dentist places a gold filling in the shape of a cylinder with a hemispherical top in a​ patient's tooth. The radius r of the filling is 1 mm. The height of the cylinder is 4 mm. Find the volume of the filling. If dental gold costs ​$94 per cubic​ millimeter, how much did the gold cost for the​ filling? Use 3.14 for pi.

The volume of the filling is
  
mm cubed.

To find the volume of the gold filling, we need to calculate the volumes of both the cylindrical part and the hemispherical part.

1. Volume of the cylinder:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:

\[ V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 h \]

where:

  • \( r \) is the radius
  • \( h \) is the height

Given:

  • \( r = 1 \) mm
  • \( h = 4 \) mm

\[ V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi (1, \text{mm})^2 (4, \text{mm}) = \pi (1) (4) = 4\pi, \text{mm}^3 \]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ V_{\text{cylinder}} = 4 \times 3.14 = 12.56, \text{mm}^3 \]

2. Volume of the hemisphere:

The formula for the volume of a hemisphere is:

\[ V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \]

Given:

  • \( r = 1 \) mm

\[ V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{2}{3} \pi (1, \text{mm})^3 = \frac{2}{3} \pi (1) = \frac{2\pi}{3}, \text{mm}^3 \]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \approx 2.0933, \text{mm}^3 \]

3. Total Volume:

Now, add the volume of the cylinder and the hemisphere to get the total volume of the filling:

\[ V_{\text{total}} = V_{\text{cylinder}} + V_{\text{hemisphere}} = 12.56, \text{mm}^3 + 2.0933, \text{mm}^3 \approx 14.6533, \text{mm}^3 \]

4. Cost of the gold:

Now, to calculate the cost:

The cost of dental gold is \( 94 \) dollars per cubic millimeter.

\[ \text{Cost} = V_{\text{total}} \times \text{cost per mm}^3 \]

\[ \text{Cost} = 14.6533, \text{mm}^3 \times 94, \text{dollars/mm}^3 \approx 1378.88, \text{dollars} \]

Final Answers:

  • Volume of the filling: \( \approx 14.6533 , \text{mm}^3 \)
  • Cost of the gold for the filling: \( \approx 1378.88 , \text{dollars} \)
