Q. What is the volume of a hemisphere with a diameter of 57.6m, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter?Answer: m3
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. Since the diameter of the sphere is given as 57.6 meters, the radius r is half of the diameter.Calculation: r=2diameter=257.6m=28.8m
Substitute Radius in Formula: Now we can substitute the radius into the formula for the volume of a sphere.Calculation: Vsphere=34π(28.8m)3
Calculate Volume of Full Sphere: We calculate the volume of the full sphere using the radius we found.Calculation: Vsphere=34π(28.8m)3=34π(23832.832m3)≈34×3.14159×23832.832m3≈125663.706m3
Divide Volume by 2: Since we want the volume of a hemisphere, we divide the volume of the sphere by 2.Calculation: Vhemisphere=2Vsphere≈2125663.706m3≈62831.853m3
Round Final Volume: Finally, we round the volume of the hemisphere to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter.Calculation: Vhemisphere≈62831.9m3
