Find the surface area of the full sphere [ A = 4 pi R2 ] and then take half of it.
You wind up with [ 2 pi R2 ] for the outside surface area of a half sphere, or
[ 4 pi R2 ] for the (inside + outside) surface area of the half sphere. (Since
the inside and outside are now both exposed to the weather, you probably
want to paint both surfaces.)

To do this question, we have to ask ourself, what formula do you use to find the surface area of a sphere. The answer should be known to you, but it is 4πr2. Since we know how to find the surface area for a full sphere, then finding the surface for a half sphere is just half the job. You use the formula for the full sphere 4πr2, and divide it by 2... so (4πr2) / 2 . Voila!
The surface area of a semicircle has the round surface which is half a sphere and also has the flat surface which is a circle.
Surface area of half a sphere = 2*pi*radius2 Surface area = 200*pi = 628.3185307 square units.

Total surface area = (2*pi*r2)+(pi*r2) Area = 300*pi in square units
