Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

363π cm2

Solution :

The correct option is 363π cm2.


Step-by-step Explanation:


1. Formula for Total Surface Area of a Hemisphere:
A hemisphere consists of two surfaces:

• The curved surface area, which is given by 2πr2
• The flat circular base, which has an area of πr2


Adding these two areas together gives the formula for the total surface area (TSA) of a solid hemisphere:

Total Surface Area (TSA)=2πr2+πr2=3πr2


2. Substitute the Given Values:
We are given that the radius of the hemisphere, r=11 cm.


Substitute r=11 into the total surface area formula:

TSA=3×π×(11)2


3. Calculate the Final Value:

112=121

TSA=3×121×π=363π cm2


Therefore, the total surface area of the hemisphere is 363π cm2.
