Q. What is the volume of a hemisphere with a diameter of 52.5ft, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?Answer: ft3
Calculate Radius: To find the volume of a hemisphere, we first need to find the volume of a full sphere and then divide it by 2. The formula for the volume of a sphere is V=34πr3, where r is the radius of the sphere. Given the diameter of the sphere is 52.5 feet, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2.
Calculate Volume of Full Sphere: Calculate the radius of the sphere. The radius r is half of the diameter, so r=2diameter=252.5ft=26.25ft.
Calculate Numerical Value: Now, we can calculate the volume of the full sphere using the formula V=34πr3. Substituting the value of r=26.25ft, we get V=34π(26.25ft)3.
Divide Volume by 2: Perform the calculation for the volume of the full sphere. V=(34)π(26.25ft)3=(34)π(26.25ft×26.25ft×26.25ft).
Calculate Final Volume: Calculate the numerical value for the volume of the full sphere. V=34π(26.25ft×26.25ft×26.25ft)≈34π(18150.625ft3)≈34×π×18150.625ft3≈24134.375πft3.
Calculate Numerical Value: To find the volume of the hemisphere, divide the volume of the full sphere by 2. Vhemisphere=2Vsphere≈2(24134.375πft3)≈12067.1875πft3.
Perform Final Calculation: Now, we need to calculate the numerical value for the volume of the hemisphere. Using the approximation π≈3.14159, we get Vhemisphere≈12067.1875×3.14159ft3.
Round Volume: Perform the final calculation for the volume of the hemisphere. Vhemisphere≈12067.1875×3.14159ft3≈37909.511ft3.
Round Volume: Perform the final calculation for the volume of the hemisphere. Vhemisphere≈12067.1875×3.14159ft3≈37909.511ft3.Round the volume of the hemisphere to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot. The rounded volume is approximately 37909.5ft3.
