Q.The numerical value of the volume and the total surface area of a solid hemisphere are equal. Find the radius of the hemisphere.

Let the radius of the hemisphere be \( r \) units ∴ According to the question, \( \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 = 3 \pi r^2 \) i.e., \( \frac{2r}{3} = 3 \) i.e., \( r = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 \) ∴ The radius of the hemisphere is 4.5 units.
