from wiki:
Suppose we have a hemisphere of radius 10 r10 (a) and cut it in ten horizontal slices (1 is on the top), does that mean that all slices have the same surface ?
even slice 1 has surface 62.8 (2\pi *10*1)? and its a (r1) =4.36?
so, the area of slice 4 (like all others) is
2pi*10*4-2pi*10*3 = 2pi*10= 62.8
is this correct?
If it is not, what is the formula to find the area and a (r1) of slice 1?
Thanks
If the radius of the base of the cap is a, and the height of the cap is h, then the curved surface area of the spherical cap is
[itex]A = 2 \pi r h.[/itex]
