The numerical value of the volume of a hemisphere is equal to the numerical value of its total surface area. What is the radius of this hemisphere in units?

  1. 8 units

  2. 4.5 units

  3. 5.5 units

  4. 6 units

Answer: B

Solution

Volume = \(\frac23\pi r^3\) and total surface area = \(3\pi r^2\). Equating them gives \(\frac23\pi r^3=3\pi r^2\). Therefore, r = 4.5 units.
