Volume = 6174 m3
Volume = 144 Volume = 486 Surface Area = 1323 m2
Surface Area = 108 Density = 400 / 486
= 0.262g/cm3

A hemispherical bowl
with radius 18cm, with a hemisphere so that the
rim of width 6cm. volume is 18 m3?

Volume
= 3888 – 1152
= 2736

Surface Area
= 1296 + 324 – 144
= 1476
