Math Problem Statement

Each question must be rounded to 1 decimal place and have the correct units.   a.     The hemisphere has a radius of 10 cm (3 marks)

Solution

To solve the problem for the hemisphere with a radius of 10 cm, we need to find some specific properties, likely related to surface area and volume. Let's calculate them step by step:

a. Volume of the Hemisphere

The formula for the volume of a hemisphere is: V=23πr3V = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 Where r=10r = 10 cm.

V=23×π×(10)3 cm3V = \frac{2}{3} \times \pi \times (10)^3 \text{ cm}^3

V=23×π×1000 cm3V = \frac{2}{3} \times \pi \times 1000 \text{ cm}^3

V23×3.1416×1000 cm3V \approx \frac{2}{3} \times 3.1416 \times 1000 \text{ cm}^3

V20003×3.1416 cm3V \approx \frac{2000}{3} \times 3.1416 \text{ cm}^3

V2094.4 cm3V \approx 2094.4 \text{ cm}^3

So, the volume of the hemisphere is approximately 2094.4 cm³.

b. Surface Area of the Hemisphere

The surface area of a hemisphere includes both the curved surface and the base. The formula is: A=2πr2A = 2 \pi r^2 Where r=10r = 10 cm.

A=2×π×(10)2 cm2A = 2 \times \pi \times (10)^2 \text{ cm}^2

A=2×π×100 cm2A = 2 \times \pi \times 100 \text{ cm}^2

A=200×π cm2A = 200 \times \pi \text{ cm}^2

A200×3.1416 cm2A \approx 200 \times 3.1416 \text{ cm}^2

A628.3 cm2A \approx 628.3 \text{ cm}^2

So, the surface area of the hemisphere is approximately 628.3 cm².

Would you like more details or have any questions about this problem?

Here are 5 relative questions to consider:

  1. What would the volume be if the radius were doubled?
  2. How does the surface area change if the radius is increased by 50%?
  3. What is the ratio of the volume of this hemisphere to a full sphere with the same radius?
  4. How would the calculations change if the hemisphere were hollow with a certain thickness?
  5. What is the lateral (curved) surface area of the hemisphere, excluding the base?

Tip: Always keep track of units when performing calculations. It helps prevent errors and ensures your answers are in the correct form.
