About the hemisphere calculator
A hemisphere is half a sphere: a dome with a flat circular base. Its volume is half of a sphere’s, (2/3)πr³. The curved surface is 2πr², and adding the base disk gives a total surface of 3πr².
Formulas
| Volume | V = (2/3)πr³ |
| Curved surface | S꜀ = 2πr² |
| Total surface | S = 3πr² |
