easy · MCQ · Q-64A698

If two solid hemispheres of same base radius rr are joined together along their bases, then the curved surface area of this new solid is:

  1. A.2\pi r^2
  2. B.3\pi r^2
  3. C.4\pi r^2Correct answer
  4. D.6\pi r^2

Solution

Joining two solid hemispheres of radius rr along their flat circular bases results in a complete sphere of radius rr. The curved surface area (which is the total surface area) of a sphere of radius rr is 4πr24\pi r^2.
