When a sphere is divided into two equal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/fractions\/halves\">halves<\/a>, each half is then called a hemisphere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/sphere\">sphere<\/a> is a 3D round shaped solid. Each point on its surface is equidistant from the center.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/hemisphere-is-half-of-the-sphere.png\" alt=\"Two hemispheres formed by a plane cutting a sphere in half \" class=\"wp-image-31868\" title=\"Two hemispheres formed by a plane cutting a sphere in half \" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/hemisphere-is-half-of-the-sphere.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/hemisphere-is-half-of-the-sphere-300x152.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what does a hemisphere look like? Take a look at the image shown below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has a flat circular base and a curved surface. Note that the radius of the hemisphere is equal to the radius of the sphere it is cut from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/hemisphere-shape.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31869\" title=\"Hemisphere shape\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/hemisphere-shape.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/hemisphere-shape-300x230.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In everyday life, we come across a variety of hemisphere-shaped objects.

In this article, we learned about the hemisphere shape in detail along with its properties and important formulas. Let\u2019s solve a few examples and practice problems for better understanding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-solved-examples-on-hemisphere-shape\">Solved Examples on Hemisphere Shape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Determine the curved surface area of a hemisphere with radius 35 inches.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that the curved surface area of a hemisphere is given by 2\u03c0r2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, $r = 35$ in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$CSA = 2\\pi r^{2}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$CSA = 2\\times \\frac{22}{7} \\times 35 \\times 35$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$CSA = 7700\\; inches^{2}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, a hemisphere with a radius of 35 inches has a curved surface area of 7700 inches2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. What is the volume of a hemisphere with an 11.2 inch radius?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that the volume of a hemisphere $= \\frac{2}{3} \\pi r^{3}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, radius $= r = 11.2$ in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volume of hemisphere $= \\frac{2}{3} \\pi r^{3} = \\frac{2}{3} \\times (3.14) (11.2)^{3} = 2940.98\\; inches^{3}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the volume of the hemisphere with radius 11.2 inches is $2940.98\\; inches^{3}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Given a hemispherical bowl with a radius of 10 cm, how much water can it hold?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that the volume of a hemisphere is given by $\\frac{2}{3} \\pi r^{3}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$r = 10$ cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volume $= \\frac{2}{3} \\pi r^{3} = \\frac{2}{3} \\times (3.14)(10)^{3} = 2093.3$ cubic cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 5 inches is approximately 2093 cubic cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Calculate the volume of a hemisphere with a 7 feet radius.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Radius of the hemisphere$ = 7$ feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the volume $= \\frac{2}{3} \\times \\frac{22}{7} \\times 7^{3} = \\frac{2156}{3} = 718.66\\; feet^{3}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 7 feet is therefore 718.66 cubic feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Calculate the TSA of the hemisphere with a radius of 10 cm.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total surface area of hemisphere $= 3\\pi r^{2}$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$r = 10$ cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TSA of the given hemisphere $= 3\\pi r^{2} = 3 \\times \\frac{22}{7} \\times 10^{2} = \\frac{6600}{7} = 942.85\\; cm^{2}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-practice-problems-on-hemisphere-shape\">Practice Problems on Hemisphere Shape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"spq_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"display:none;\">Hemisphere Shape - Definition, Formula, Examples, Facts, FAQs<\/h2><p style=\"display:none;\">Attend this quiz & Test your knowledge.<\/p><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"1\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">1<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">Hemisphere shape is the ______ of the sphere.<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">quarter<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">half<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">One third<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">twice<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: half<br\/>Hemisphere shape is half of the sphere.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"0\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">2<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">Which of the following is NOT true about the hemisphere shape?<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">It is a polyhedron.<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">It has a curved surface and a circular base.<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">Its volume is given by $\\frac{2}{3} \\pi r^{3}$.<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">It has no vertices and no edges.<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: It is a polyhedron.<br\/>A polyhedron is a 3D shape made from polygons.
