Select a spherical shape below
A Spherical Wedge is a three-dimensional object that resembles a piece of pie cut from a sphere. It is defined by two spherical caps and a wedge-shaped portion in between them. The shape of a spherical wedge is determined by the radius of the sphere and the angle of the wedge.
The surface area of a spherical wedge is the area on a sphere surrounded by two half circles that meet at antipodal points. The curved surface is called a spherical lune.
Real-life examples of objects with similar shapes to a spherical wedge include a slice of watermelon, a piece of pizza, and a sliced orange.
Calculate the surface area of a spherical wedge with ease using our step-by-step online calculator.
The formula for determining the surface area of a spherical wedge is defined as:
\(SA\): the surface area of the spherical wedge
\(r\): the radius of the parent sphere
\(\theta\): The angle of the wedge
The SI unit of surface area is: \(square \text{ } meter\text{ }(m^2)\)
Find \(SA\)
