Why isn't the surface of a hemisphere not half the surface area of a sphere?
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.
What 3D shape has 1 circular face and one which is half the surface of a sphere?
A hemisphere has 1 circular face and one which is half the surface of a sphere.
What is the surface area of a half-sphere with a radius of 10?
Surface area of half a sphere = 2*pi*radius2 Surface area = 200*pi = 628.3185307 square units.
How do you figure out surface area for half sphere?
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!
How to find the surface area of a half sphere?
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.)
