Total Surface Area of a Hollow Hemisphere?

I have a problem like this on the test tomorrow but my answer is far different from the correct answer provided.

Imagine a hollowed hemisphere. The radius out the outer sphere is 1.25cm. The diameter of the inner sphere is 1.86 cm. What is the total surface area of the entire figure? (I used the (3)(pi)(r)^2 formula and added both together)

My answer: 22.86 cm2
Correct answer: 17.44 cm2

What did I do wrong?
