About Hemispheres
What is a Hemisphere?
A hemisphere is half of a sphere, divided by a plane passing through its center. It has a curved surface and a flat circular base.
Formulas Used
- Curved Surface Area = 2πr²
- Total Surface Area = 3πr²
- Volume = (2/3)πr³
- Base Area = πr²
Applications
Hemispheres are commonly found in architecture (domes), engineering (tanks), and everyday objects (bowls, lids). Understanding their properties is essential for calculating material requirements, capacity, and structural integrity.
