Example Question #93 : Solid Geometry
What is the surface area of a hemisphere with a diameter of ?
A hemisphere is half of a sphere. The surface area is broken into two parts: the spherical part and the circular base.
The surface area of a sphere is given by .
So the surface area of the spherical part of a hemisphere is .
The area of the circular base is given by . The radius to use is half the diameter, or 2 cm.

Example Question #25 : How To Find Surface Area
If a cube has an area of on one of its sides, what is the total surface area?
A cube has sides that have equal length edges and also equal side areas.
To find the total surface area, you just need to multiple the side area () by which is,
.
Example Question #26 : How To Find Surface Area
A sphere has diameter 12. What is 75% of its surface area?
The radius of a sphere is half its diameter, which here is 12, so the radius is 6. The surface area of the sphere can be calculated by setting in the formula:
75% of this is
