Hemisphere practice problems

A hemisphere is exactly half of a sphere, formed by cutting a sphere with a plane passing through its center. The flat circular face has radius r equal to the sphere's radius, while the curved surface is half the sphere's surface area. The volume of a hemisphere is V = (2/3)πr³, which is half the sphere's volume. The curved surface area is 2πr², and the total surface area including the flat base is 3πr². Hemispheres appear in architecture (domes), geography (Earth's northern and southern hemispheres), and various everyday objects. Understanding hemispheres involves visualizing three-dimensional geometry, calculating curved and flat surface areas, and applying volume formulas. They represent important examples of composite solids in geometry.
