Formula of surface area (SA) of an hemisphere:


SA=2\pi r^2

where r represents the radius of the hemisphere.

In the image, we are given the radius, r = 8 cm. Then, we just have ot replace this value in the formula and solve:


SA=2\pi(8)^2

Simplifying:


SA=2\pi\cdot(64)
SA=128\pi

Answer: 120π cm²
