Q. What is the volume of a hemisphere with a diameter of 3.4ft, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?Answer: ft3
Find Radius: Find the radius of the hemisphere.The diameter of the hemisphere is 3.4 feet. The radius is half of the diameter.Radius = Diameter /2Radius =3.4 ft /2Radius =1.7 ft
Calculate Full Sphere Volume: Calculate the volume of a full sphere using the radius.The formula for the volume of a sphere is (34)πr3.Volume of a full sphere = (34)π(1.7 ft)3
Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation for the volume of a full sphere.Volume of a full sphere = (34)π(1.7 ft)3Volume of a full sphere = (34)π(4.913 ft3)Volume of a full sphere = (34)×π×4.913 ft3Volume of a full sphere \approx (34)×3.14159×4.913 ft3Volume of a full sphere \approx 25.836 \text{ ft}^3
Calculate Hemisphere Volume: Calculate the volume of the hemisphere.Since a hemisphere is half of a sphere, we divide the volume of the full sphere by 2.Volume of the hemisphere = Volume of the full sphere /2Volume of the hemisphere ≈25.836ft3/2Volume of the hemisphere ≈12.918ft3
Round Volume: Round the volume of the hemisphere to the nearest tenth.Volume of the hemisphere ≈12.9ft3 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
