Volume and total surface area of a solid hemisphere are equal in magnitude. The

Volume and total surface area of a solid hemisphere are equal in magnitude. The volume is expressed in \( \mathrm{cm}^{3} \) and the area is expressed in \( \mathrm{cm}^{2} \). Find the radius of hemisphere.

  • A. \( 3 \mathrm{cm} \)
  • B. \( 4 \mathrm{cm} \)
  • C. \( 4.5 \mathrm{cm} \)
  • D. \( 5.5 \mathrm{cm} \)

Step-by-step solution

Volume of hemisphere = (2/3)πr³, total surface area = 3πr². Equating: (2/3)πr³ = 3πr² → (2/3)r³ = 3r² → 2r = 9 → r = 4.5 cm.
