The formula of getting the surface area of the sphere is = 4πr2

 For surface area of a hemisphere use 2πr2

To get an area of hollowed hemisphere, you need to add outer surface area, inner surface area and area of ring.

Now you get:

        2π(1.25)2    +   2π(1.86/2)2  +  (  π(1.25)2  -  π(1.86/2)2  )

           3π(1.25)2  +  π(1.86/2)2

            3π(1.25)2  +  π(0.93)2

          14.71875  +   2.715786

                    17.43454

                     17.43 cm2

Hope this will help!
