Q. What is the diameter of a hemisphere with a volume of 52079ft3, to the nearest tenth of a foot?Answer: ft
Identify Volume Formula: Identify the formula for the volume of a hemisphere.The volume V of a hemisphere is given by the formula V=32πr3, where r is the radius of the hemisphere.
Solve for Radius: Solve the formula for the radius r. We need to isolate r in the formula V=32πr3. To do this, we will divide both sides of the equation by 32π. r3=(32π)V
Plug in Volume: Plug in the given volume into the formula.We know the volume V=52079 ft3. Now we substitute this value into the equation from Step 2.r3=(32π)52079
Calculate Radius: Calculate the radius.r3=(32)π52079r3=32π52079r3=52079×(2π3)r3≈52079×(2×3.141593)r3≈52079×(6.283183)r3≈52079×0.47746r3≈24865.5Now we take the cube root of both sides to solve for r.r≈324865.5r≈29.2 ft
Calculate Diameter: Calculate the diameter of the hemisphere.The diameter d is twice the radius, so d=2r.d=2×29.2 ftd≈58.4 ft
