# About This Calculator

A Hemisphere is exactly half of a sphere. In geometry, we often distinguish between the "curved surface area" (just the dome) and the "total surface area" (the dome plus its flat circular base).

Key Formulas:

  • Volume: 2/3 × π × r³
  • Curved Surface Area: 2 × π × r²
  • Total Surface Area: 3 × π × r² (dome + base)

How To Use

  1. Enter the **Radius (r)** of the hemisphere.
  2. The **Volume** represents the internal space.
  3. The **Curved Area** is just the 'skin' of the dome.
  4. The **Total Area** includes the flat circular base.
