## anonymous 4 years ago A solid candy jawbreaker is cut in half. If its diameter is 4 cm, what is the surface area of a half piece? please show me the steps.

i am getting 8 pi .is it right

3. anonymous

i think it should be 48pi

4. anonymous

oh hell, no.... i thought radius was 4, not diameter... sec

5. anonymous

answer is 12 pi.I don't know how

2A = 4pi*r^2 2A = 4pi*(2)^2 2A = 16pi A = 8pi I set it equal to 2A because we want half the surface area, I found the full SA then divided by 2.

the surface area on the outside is 8pi, you're correct, but you need to add the surface are where the cut was made (basically the area of a circle radius 4

so its 12pi

Ahhh yes I forgot about the inside cut. I assumed a hollow sphere. :O stupid mee

It's the surface area of half a sphere plus the surface area of the circle... $\frac{4πr^2}{2}+\pi r^2=2 \pi r^2+\pi r ^2=3 \pi r^2= 3 \pi (2cm)^2=12 \pi\ cm$

*$12\pi\ cm^2$
