Class 9MathematicsSurface Areas and Volumes

Sphere and Hemisphere

Sphere: all points equidistant from center. Radius r. Surface area = 4πr². Volume = 4/3 πr³. Hemisphere (half sphere): CSA = 2πr². TSA = 3πr². Volume = 2/3 πr³. A sphere has the MINIMUM surface area for a given volume — that's why bubbles are spherical!
