Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
The total surface area of a solid hemisphere is . Taking , find the radius and the curved surface area.
The lateral surface of a cuboid is and its total surface is . A cylinder has curved surface and total surface . A cone has , curved surface and total surface . A hemisphere has curved surface and total surface .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. The equation. , so .
Step 2. The radius. .
Step 3. The curved surface. .
Check. of is .
Answer: the radius is and the curved surface area is .
