Hemisphere Surface Area Calculation
This solution explains how to find the total surface area of a hemisphere given its radius and the value of pi ($\pi$).
Formula for Hemisphere Surface Area
The total surface area (TSA) of a hemisphere is the sum of its curved surface area and the area of its circular base.
- Curved Surface Area = $2\pi r^2$
- Base Area = $\pi r^2$
- Total Surface Area (TSA) = Curved Surface Area + Base Area = $2\pi r^2 + \pi r^2 = 3\pi r^2$
Where '$r$' is the radius of the hemisphere.
Step-by-Step Calculation
We are given:
- Radius ($r$) = $26$ cm
- Value of $\pi$ = $3.14$
Step 1: Substitute the values into the formula.
TSA = $3 \times \pi \times r^2$
TSA = $3 \times 3.14 \times (26)^2$ $cm^2$
Step 2: Calculate the square of the radius.
$r^2 = (26)^2 = 26 \times 26 = 676$ $cm^2$
Step 3: Multiply the values to find the total surface area.
TSA = $3 \times 3.14 \times 676$ $cm^2$
TSA = $9.42 \times 676$ $cm^2$
TSA = $6367.92$ $cm^2$
Therefore, the total surface area of the hemisphere is $6367.92$ $cm^2$.
