A hemispherical bowl is made of steel, 0.25 cm thick.

Question. A hemispherical bowl is made of steel, $0.25 \mathrm{~cm}$ thick. The inner radius of the bowl is $5 \mathrm{~cm}$. Find the outer curved surface area of the bowl. $\left[\right.$ Assume $\left.\pi=\frac{22}{7}\right]$


Solution:

Inner radius of hemispherical bowl = 5 cm

Thickness of the bowl = 0.25 cm

$\therefore$ Outer radius $(r)$ of hemispherical bowl $=(5+0.25) \mathrm{cm}$

$=5.25 \mathrm{~cm}$

Outer CSA of hemispherical bowl $=2 \pi r^{2}$

$=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times(5.25 \mathrm{~cm})^{2}=173.25 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$

Therefore, the outer curved surface area of the bowl is $173.25 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$.
