Finding total surface area of sphere.
i. Take a sweet lime (Mosambe), Cut it into two equal parts.Image
ii. Take one of the parts. Place its circular face on a paper. Draw its circular border. Copy three more such circles. Again, cut each half of the sweet lime into two equal parts.
Image
iii. Now you get 4 quarters of sweet lime. Separate the peel of a quarter part. Cut it into pieces as small as possible. Try to cover one o’f the circles drawn, by the small pieces. Observe that the circle gets nearly covered.
The activity suggests that,
Curved surface area of a sphere = $4\pi r^2$

Prepare a cylinder of a card sheet, keeping one of its faces open. Prepare an open cone of card sheet which will have the same base-radius and the same height as that of the cylinder. Pour fine sand in the cone till it just fills up the cone. Empty the cone in the cylinder. Repeat the procedure till the cylinder is just filled up with sand. Note how many coneful of sand is required to fill up the cylinder.

Circumference of base of the cone = 2πr
As shown in the figure (c), make pieces of the net as small as possible. Join them as shown in the figure (d),. By joining the small pieces of net of the cone, we get a rectangle ABCD approximately.
Total length of AB and CD is 2πr.
∴ length of side AB of rectangle ABCD is πr and length of side CD is also πr.
Length of side BC of rectangle = slant height of cone = l.
Curved surface area of cone is equal to the area of the rectangle.
