Given:
The diameter of the hemisphere is 15 inches.
To find:
The surface area of a hemisphere.
Explanation:
The radius of the hemisphere is
[tex]r=\frac{15}{2}inches[/tex]Using the formula of the surface area of a hemisphere,
[tex]\begin{gathered} S.A=2\pi r^2 \\ =2\times3.14\times(\frac{15}{2})^2 \\ =353.25 \\ \approx353square\text{ }inches \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer:
The surface area of the hemisphere is 353 square inches.
