To find the surface area of a hemisphere, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2\pi r^2 + \pi r^2 \]

where:

  • \( r \) is the radius of the hemisphere,
  • \( 2\pi r^2 \) is the curved surface area,
  • \( \pi r^2 \) is the area of the circular base.

For a hemisphere with a radius of \( r = 10 \) m:

  1. Calculate the curved surface area: \[ 2\pi (10)^2 = 2\pi (100) = 200\pi , \text{m}^2 \]

  2. Calculate the area of the circular base: \[ \pi (10)^2 = \pi (100) = 100\pi , \text{m}^2 \]

  3. Add the curved surface area and the base area: \[ \text{Total Surface Area} = 200\pi + 100\pi = 300\pi , \text{m}^2 \]

So, the surface area of the hemisphere is \( \boxed{300\pi , \text{m}^2} \).
