Question 32

waecmaths question: 

The total surface area of a hemisphere is 75π cm2. Find its radius

Option A: 

5.0 cm

Option B: 

7.0 cm

Option C: 

8.5cm 

Option D: 

12.0cm

waecmaths solution: 

$\begin{align}  & \text{Surface area of a hemisphere}=2\pi {{r}^{2}} \\ & 2\pi {{r}^{2}}=75\pi c{{m}^{2}} \\ & {{r}^{2}}=37.5c{{m}^{2}} \\ & r=6.12cm \\\end{align}$
