Radii of two solid hemispheres are in the ratio 3 : 5. Find the ratio of their curved surface areas and the ratio of their total surface areas.
Given : Ratio of radii of two hemispheres = r1 : r2 = 3 : 5
To find : Ratio of curved surface areas = C1 : C2 = ?
Ratio of total surface areas = T1 : T2 = ?
Formula : CSA of hemisphere = 2
r2
TSA of hemisphere =
r2
Solution : CSA of first hemisphere = C1 = 2
r12
CSA of second hemisphere = C2 = 2
r22
⇒ ![]()
TSA of first hemisphere = T1 =
r12
TSA of second hemisphere = T2 =
r22
⇒ ![]()
∴ The ratio of the curved surface areas and total surface areas of the two solid hemispheres is 9 : 25 and 9 : 25 respectively.
