Q. Using the formula for the surface of a hemisphere A=3πr2, what is the radius of the sphere if the area is 18.75πcm2?
Write Formula: Write down the formula for the surface area of a hemisphere.The formula for the surface area of a hemisphere is A=3πr2, where A is the surface area and r is the radius of the hemisphere.
Substitute Surface Area: Substitute the given surface area into the formula.We are given that the surface area A is 18.75π cm2. So we substitute this value into the formula:18.75π=3πr2
Solve for r2: Solve for r2. To find r2, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3π: (18.75π)/(3π)=(3πr2)/(3π)r2=18.75/3
Calculate r2: Calculate the value of r2. Now we perform the division to find r2: r2=318.75 $r^\(2\) = \(6\).\(25\)
Find \(r\): Find the value of \(r\) by taking the square root of \(r^2\).\(\newline\)To find \(r\), we take the square root of both sides of the equation:\(\newline\)\(r = \sqrt{6.25}\)\(\newline\)\(r = 2.5\) cm
