Hemisphere (Volume & Surface Area) Calculator

getcalc.com's hemisphere calculator is an online basic geometry tool to calculate volume & surface area of a half-sphere shape, in both US customary & metric (SI) units.

Steps to Find Volume and Surface Area of a Hemisphere

The step by step workout for how to find what is the volume and surface area of a hemisphere. Students may use this hemisphere calculator to generate work with steps for any other similar input values.Workout :
step 1 Address the formula, input parmaeters & values
Radius = 5 in

step 2 Apply radius values in Volume formula
Volume V = 2πr³/3
= 2 x 3.1416 x (5)³/3in³
= 2 x 3.1416 x 125/3in³
= 785/3in³
Volume V = 261.7994 in³

step 3 Find Surface area using below surface area formula
Surface Area = 2πr²
= 2 x 3.1416 x (5)² in²
= 2 x 3.1416 x 25 in²
Surface Area = 157.0796 in²
