Solution

The surface area of a hemisphere is given by the formula 2πr², where r is the radius of the hemisphere.

In the first case, the radius of the balloon is 6 cm. So, the surface area of the balloon is 2π(6)² = 72π cm².

In the second case, the radius of the balloon increases to 12 cm. So, the surface area of the balloon is 2π(12)² = 288π cm².

The ratio of the surface areas of the balloon in the two cases is therefore 72π : 288π, which simplifies to 1 : 4.
