Hot Air Balloon Surface area Volume
A Hot Air Balloon is a composite of a hemisphere and a truncated cone
Hemisphere Surface Area Surface Area Formula SA = 2πr 2
Cone Surface Area Surface Area Formula SA = πrl
Approximate Surface Area of Hot Air Balloon Total surface area of hot air balloon = surface area of hemisphere + surface area of cone – vertex tip of cone
Surface Area Summary ____ square feet of ___________is needed to make a hot air balloon.
Hemisphere Volume Volume Formula V = ⅔πr 3
Cone Volume Volume Formula V = ⅓πr 2 h
Approximate Volume of Hot Air Balloon Total volume of hot air balloon = surface area of hemisphere + surface area of cone – vertex tip of cone
