Question

What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 26.7 m, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter?

Answer 1

Answer:

$39,865.1m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

a hemisphere is half a sphere.

And if the formula for the volume of a sphere is:

$V=\frac{4\pi r^3}{3}$

we must calculate the volume of the sphere and in the end divide by two to find the volume of the hemisphere.

Since the radius is:

$r=26.7m$

substituting this into the formula for volume:

$V=\frac{4\pi (26.7m)^3}{3} \\\\V=\frac{4(3.1416)(19,034.163m^3)}{3} \\\\V=79,730.12m^3$

this is the volume of the total sphere, thus the volume of a hemisphere is:

$\frac{V}{2}=\frac{79,730.12m^3}{2}\\ =39,865.06m^3$

rounding to the nearest tenth:

$39,865.1m^3$
