Best Answer

That can be a complicated process (although some curves are simpler than others). If the curvature can be described by an algebraic equation, then the area can be calculated by means of integral calculus. Alternatively, if you can fit simpler geometric shapes (such as squares and triangles) into the curved surface in a way that approximately fills that surface, you can use simpler means to calculate the area.

What is the difference between curved surface area of hemisphere and total surface area of hemisphere?

Curved surface area of a hemisphere means only the bent part of it , i.e,the part which looks like half of a sphere. Total surface area of a hemisphere is the circular top of a hemisphere + curved surface area of a hemisphere. So the formula goes like this: Curved surface area of hemisphere= 2πr2 Total surface area of hemisphere= 2πr2 + πr2 = 3πr2


What is the formulae for finding the curved surface area of a frustum of a cone?

The frustum of a cone looks like a plant pot and its curved surface area is: pi*(r1+r2)*l whereas r1 is the top radius and r2 is the bottom radius with l being its slanted length.
