A hemispherical metal bowl has internal radius 5 cm and the metal is 1 cm thick everywhere. Find the total surface area of the bowl — its outside, its inside and the flat ring around the rim — in , in terms of π.

  • D108π

Step-by-Step Solution

The outer radius is 5 + 1 = 6 cm. Outer curved surface = 2ππ; inner curved surface = 2ππ; the rim is a flat ring of area ππ. Total = 72π + 50π + 11π = 133π . (122π forgets the rim, but real metal has a thickness you can see; 72π counts only the outside; 108π uses 3π for a SOLID hemisphere of radius 6, which has no hollow at all. Note ππ, not π = π.)
Answer: B) 133π
