Total surface area of a hemisphere is 4158cm^2, the diameter of the hemisphere is equal to __________ cm. (Take π = \(\frac{22}{7}\))(a) 40(b) 20(c) 21(d) 42The question was posed to me during an interview.This interesting question is from Surface Area of a Sphere topic in section Surface Areas and Volumes of Mathematics – Class 9

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (d) 42

For explanation I would say: We KNOW that total surface AREA of a hemisphere = 3πr^2

3πr^2= 4158

3 * \(\FRAC{22}{7}\) * r^2 = 4158

r^2 = 441

Hence, r = 21cm

Therefore, diameter of hemisphere = 2r = 2 * 21 = 42cm.
