Q. What is the diameter of a hemisphere with a volume of 8280ft3, to the nearest tenth of a foot?Answer: ft
Volume Formula Derivation: To find the diameter of the hemisphere, we first need to know the formula for the volume of a hemisphere, which is (32)πr3, where r is the radius of the hemisphere. We are given the volume, so we need to solve for r and then double it to find the diameter.
Volume Equation Setup: We set up the equation (32)πr3=8280 ft3 and solve for r. First, we divide both sides by (32)π to isolate r3.r3=((32)π)8280 ft3
Calculate Volume: Now we calculate the right side of the equation using the value of π as approximately 3.14159.r3=(32)⋅3.141598280 ft3r3≈2.094398280 ft3r3≈3953.76 ft3
Calculate Radius: Next, we take the cube root of both sides to solve for r.r≈(3953.76ft3)1/3r≈15.8ft
Calculate Diameter: Since the diameter is twice the radius, we multiply r by 2 to find the diameter.Diameter=2×rDiameter≈2×15.8ftDiameter≈31.6ft
