The total surface area of a hemisphere is 462 cm². What is its curved surface area? (Use \(\pi=\frac{22}{7}\))

  1. 283 cm²

  2. 329 cm²

  3. 308 cm²

  4. 258 cm²

Answer: C

Solution

Solution: Total surface area of a hemisphere \(=3\pi r^2=462\). Thus, \(r^2=\frac{462\times7}{3\times22}=49\). Curved surface area \(=2\pi r^2=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times49=308\) cm². Trick: Hemisphere TSA is \(3\pi r^2\), while its curved surface area is \(2\pi r^2\).
