Best Answer

A perfect dome (1/2 of a sphere) has a surface area of 2piR2. This is because a sphere's surface area is 4piR2, and dividing that by 2 would simplify to 2piR2.

Formula for surface area of a spherical dome?

The surface area of a sphere is 4(3.14)R2where R is the radius of the sphere so the surface area of your dome is half of that. 2(314)R2

How do you figure the square footage of a dome?

Tricky. You need to flatten out the surface to work it out. Depends on the shape - if it's like a hemisphere then you can use the properties of a sphere - volume = 4/3 Pi R3 and surface area = 4 Pi R2 so if your dome is like half a sphere then its surface area = 2 Pi R2 and you can measure the radius R so can work it out!


What is the formula for surface area and volume?

That depends on the figure whose surface area and volume you're finding. You could try a Google search for "volume of [figure name]" or "surface area of [figure name]".
