The surface area of a solid sphere is 1256 cm². It is cut into two hemispheres. Find the total surface area and the volume of a hemisphere. Take π = 3.14.
The surface area of a solid sphere is 1256 cm². It is cut into two hemispheres. Find the total surface area and the volume of a hemisphere. Take π = 3.14.

Solution:

Given surface area of the sphere = 1256 cm2

4r2 = 1256

4×3.14×r2 = 1256

r2 = 1256×/3.14×4

r2 = 100

r = 10 cm

Total surface area of the hemisphere = 3r2

= 3×3.14×102

= 3×3.14×100

= 942 cm2

Hence the total surface area of the hemisphere is 942 cm2.

Volume of the hemisphere = (2/3)r3

= (2/3)×3.14×103

= (2/3)×3.14×1000

= (2/3)×3140

= 6280/3

Hence the volume of the hemisphere is 2093.33
