What is a Hemisphere?

A hemisphere is a three-dimensional geometric shape that represents half of a sphere. It is formed by cutting a sphere in half along a plane that passes through its center. The resulting shape has a flat circular base and a curved surface that forms a dome.

Hemispheres are commonly found in architecture, engineering, and natural structures, such as the Earth’s northern and southern hemispheres.

How to Use the Hemisphere Calculator?

1. Select Input Type: Choose the parameter you know about the hemisphere from the dropdown menu. Options include radius, diameter, volume, surface area, base area, or curved surface area.

2. Enter Value: Input the numerical value for your chosen parameter in the text field. Ensure you enter a positive number.

3. Select Units: Choose the appropriate unit of measurement from the dropdown menu. Options include meters, centimeters, millimeters, inches, and feet.

4. Calculate: Click the “Calculate” button to process your input and generate results. The calculator will display comprehensive results, including:

• Radius
• Diameter
• Volume
• Total Surface Area
• Base Area
• Curved Surface Area
• Circumference of the base

Each result is presented with four decimal places for precision and includes the appropriate unit of measurement.
