The curved surface area of a hemisphere is 110.88sq cm and its volume is 155.232cubic cm. Find its radius.
- A8.4 cm
- B1.4 cm
- C4.2 cm
- D2.1 cm
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the radius of the hemisphere be r.
The formula for the curved surface area (CSA) of a hemisphere is:
CSA=2πr
2
=110.88
The formula for the volume (V) of a hemisphere is:
Volume=

=155.232
Dividing the volume by the curved surface area:
CSA
