A solid sphere of diameter 7 cm is cut into two equal halves. What will be the increase (in cm2) in the total surface area ?
A solid sphere when cut into two equal halves, two solid hemispheres will be formed
Radius of sphere = $$\frac{7}{2}$$ cm
Increase in total surface area = $$(2\times3\pi r^2)-(4\pi r^2)$$
= $$6\pi r^2-4\pi r^2=2\pi r^2$$
= $$2\times\frac{22}{7}\times(\frac{7}{2})^2$$
= $$11\times7=77$$ $$cm^2$$
