Spherical cap

Calculate the volume of the spherical cap and the areas of the spherical canopy if r = 5 cm (radius of the sphere), ρ = 4 cm (radius of the circle of the cap).

Correct answer:

V =  54.4543 cm3
S =  113.0973 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

r=5 cm ρ=4 cm  r2 = (r  v)2 + ρ2  h=rr2ρ2=55242=2 cm  V=6π h (3 ρ2+h2)=63.1416 2 (3 42+22)=54.4543 cm3
S=2π r h+π ρ2=2 3.1416 5 2+3.1416 42=113.0973 cm2
