 Example 2.37 : A hemisphere is of radius 9 cm find the volume and curved

surface area.
Solution : Radius of hemisphere (r ) = 9 cm.

= 486 π cu.cm.
Volume of hemisphere = 486 π cu.cm.
Curved surface area = 2πr 2 sq.units.
= 2π × 9 × 9 = 162 π
Curved surface area = 162 π sq.cm.
 Example 2.38 : The circumference of the edge of a hemispherical bowl is

132 cm. Find its capacity.

Solution :Circumferences the edge of 
hemisphere = 132 cm
2πr  = 132

 Example 2.39 : A plastic doll is made by surmounting a cone on a hemisphere
of equal radius. The radius of the hemisphere is 7 cm and slant height of the cone is
11 cm. Find the surface area of the doll.
Solution :
11 cm
Cone Hemisphere
Radius r  = 7 cm r  = 7 cm 7cm

Slant height l = 11 cm

=2 × × 7 × 7 = 308 sq.cm.
7
Curved surface area of cone = πrl sq.units.

22
= × 7 × 11 = 242 sq.cm.

Surface area of the doll = 308 + 242 = 550 sq.cm.
 Example 2.40 : A silver cup has the shape of a hemisphere surmounted by a
cylinder. The diameter of the sphere is 10.5 cm and total height of the cup is
11.25 cm find its capacity.
10.5 cm
10.5
Solution : Radius = = 5.25 cm
2
Total height = 11.25 cm
11.25 cm
Height of cylinder = 11.25 – 5.25
= 6 cm

1 21
Radius = 5.25 cm = 5 = cm.
