Step-by-Step Solution

The biggest hemisphere on a 14 cm face has radius 7 cm. The cube shows , but the circle of contact, π, is hidden under the hemisphere, while the hemisphere adds its curved surface 2π. Total . (Adding 308 without removing the covered circle gives ; adding the whole surface of a solid hemisphere, 3π, counts the flat face that is glued down and gives ; ignores the hemisphere.)
