Q. What is the volume of a hemisphere with a diameter of 51.2ft, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?Answer: ft3
Identify Radius: Identify the radius of the hemisphere.The diameter of the hemisphere is 51.2 feet. The radius is half of the diameter.Radius = Diameter /2Radius =51.2 ft /2Radius =25.6 ft
Write Volume Formula: Write down the formula for the volume of a sphere.The volume of a sphere is given by the formula:Volume of a sphere = (34)πr3Since we want the volume of a hemisphere (half of a sphere), we need to divide this by 2.Volume of a hemisphere = 2(34)πr3
Substitute Radius: Substitute the radius into the formula for the volume of a hemisphere. Volume of a hemisphere = (34⋅π⋅(25.6ft)3)/2
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume of the hemisphere.Volume of a hemisphere = ((4/3)∗π∗(25.6 ft)3)/2Volume of a hemisphere = ((4/3)∗π∗16777.216 ft3)/2Volume of a hemisphere = (4∗π∗16777.216 ft3)/6Volume of a hemisphere = (4∗π∗16777.216 ft3)/6Volume of a hemisphere ≈(4∗3.14159∗16777.216 ft3)/6Volume of a hemisphere ≈(4∗3.14159∗16777.216 ft3)/6Volume of a hemisphere ≈223,256.7 ft3/6Volume of a hemisphere ≈37,209.45 ft3
Round Volume: Round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.Volume of a hemisphere ≈37,209.5 ft3 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
