Welcome to class!
In today’s class, we will be talking about surface areas and volume of spheres and hemispheres. Enjoy the class!
Surface area and Volume Formulas
-
Solids:
Solids are three–dimensional objects, bound by one or more surfaces.
-
Volume:
The volume of a solid figure is the amount of space enclosed by its bounding surfaces. It is measured in cubic units.
-
Surface area:
The surface area of a solid is the total area on the surface of a solid. It is measured in square units.
1. Sphere:
A sphere is a solid figure in the shape of a globe. It is a three-dimensional figure that has all its point the same distance from its centre.
The set of all points in space, which are at a fixed distance from a fixed point, is called a Sphere. The fixed point is the centre of the sphere and the fixed distance is the radius of the sphere.
Therefore,
- The volume of a sphere = 4/3(πr3) cubic units.
- Surface Area (curved and total) of a sphere = 4 πr2 square units.
2. Hemisphere:
A sphere cut by a plane passing through its centre forms two hemispheres. The upper surface of a hemisphere is a circular region.
Therefore,
- The volume of a hemisphere = 2/3(πr3) cubic units.
- Surface Area (curved) of a hemisphere =2πr2 square units.
In our next class, we will be talking about Longitude and Latitude. We hope you enjoyed the class.
