A solid hemisphere has a radius of 7 cm. Find the total surface area.
A
400 cm2
B
462 cm2
C
66 cm2
D
308 cm2
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Total surface area of hemisphere = half of TSA of sphere + circumference of circle
= \(2\pi r^{2} + \pi r^{2} = 3\pi r^{2}\)
= \( 3 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7^{2} = 462cm^{2}\)
