Write the formula for the surface area of a sphere and plug in the radius.
Find the volume of the prism.
Recall how to find the volume of any prism.
Since the base is a trapezoid, recall how to find the area of a trapezoid.
Plug in the given bases and height to find the area of the trapezoid.
Now, plug this in to find the volume of the prism.
The slant height of a cone is ; the diameter of its base is one-fifth its slant height. Give the surface area of the cone in terms of
.
The formula for the surface area of a cone with base of radius and slant height
is
.
The diameter of the base is ; the radius is half this, so
Substitute in the surface area formula:
Find the surface area of a sphere with a circumference of .
The formula for the surface area of a sphere is simply
However, the problem is that we are given the circumference rather than the radius. Nonetheless, this isn't too big of an obstacle, as the formula for circumference in terms of radius is simply.
Substituting or value gives
Solving for the radius gives
We can then substitute this value into our formula for surface area.
Therefore, our surface area is
If the radius of a sphere is , what is the surface area of the sphere?
Write the equation for the surface area of a sphere.
Substitute the radius and find the area.
Find the surface area of a hemisphere that has a radius of .
In order to find the area of a hemisphere, which is just half a sphere, you will need to first find half the surface area of the sphere.
Recall how to find the surface area of a sphere:
, where
is the radius.
Now, since the sphere is cut in half, it also has a circle as its base.
Recall how to find the area of a circle:
Now add together half the surface area of a sphere with the area of the circular base to find the surface area of a hemisphere.
Plug in the given radius to find the surface area.
Make sure to round to places after the decimal.
