[Volume of a sphere = 4/3 πr³] [Surface area of a sphere = 4πr²] The diagram shows a wooden bowl. It is made in the shape of a large hemisphere with a small hemisphere removed from the centre. The diameter of the large hemisphere is 20 cm. The width of the rim of the bowl is 2 cm. [Figure of a cross-section of a bowl, showing outer radius, inner radius, and rim width]

  1. (a)Show that the total surface area of the bowl is 364π cm².[3]
  2. (b)The bowl is made from wood. The mass of 1 cm³ of the wood is 0.74 g. Calculate the mass of the bowl.[3]
  3. (c)Another bowl is mathematically similar to the first bowl and is made from the same type of wood. The total surface area of the second bowl is 546π cm². Calculate the mass of the second bowl.[3]
