The formula calculates the diameter of a hemisphere when its curved surface area is known. It's derived from the relationship between the curved surface area and the radius of a hemisphere.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula first calculates the radius from the curved surface area, then doubles it to get the diameter.
Details: Calculating the diameter from curved surface area is important in geometry, engineering, and architectural design where hemispherical structures are involved.
Tips: Enter the curved surface area in square meters. The value must be positive and greater than zero.
Q1: What is the difference between curved surface area and total surface area of a hemisphere?
A: Curved surface area includes only the curved part, while total surface area includes both the curved surface and the base circular area.
Q2: Can this formula be used for full spheres?
A: No, this specific formula is designed for hemispheres. For full spheres, a different formula would be used.
Q3: What are the units for the result?
A: The diameter result is in meters, matching the input units of curved surface area (m²).
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise based on the input values, using the exact value of π available in the programming language.
Q5: Can I use different units for input?
A: The calculator expects square meters for input. If using different units, convert them to square meters first for accurate results.
