Question 17

waecmaths question: 

If the total surface area of a solid hemisphere equal to its volume. Find the radius

Option A: 

3.0 cm

Option B: 

4.5 cm

Option C: 

5.0 cm

Option D: 

9.0 cm

waecmaths solution: 

$\begin{align}  & \text{Surface area of an hemisphere}=2\pi {{r}^{2}} \\ & \text{Volume of an hemisphere is }\frac{2}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}} \\ & \frac{2}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}=2\pi {{r}^{2}} \\ & r=3cm \\\end{align}$
