Q. What is the volume of a hemisphere with a diameter of 7.4ft, 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. Since the diameter is given as 7.4 feet, the radius r is half of the diameter.
Volume Formula for Sphere: Calculate the radius of the sphere by dividing the diameter by 2.Radius r=2Diameter=27.4ft=3.7ft
Calculate Full Sphere Volume: Now, plug the radius into the volume formula for a sphere. Vsphere=(34)π(3.7ft)3
Calculate Hemisphere Volume: Calculate the volume of the full sphere using the radius. Vsphere=34π(3.7ft)3=34π(50.653ft3)≈34×3.1416×50.653ft3≈67.020ft3
Round Final Result: Since we want the volume of a hemisphere, we divide the volume of the sphere by 2.Vhemisphere=2Vsphere≈267.020ft3≈33.510ft3
Round Final Result: Since we want the volume of a hemisphere, we divide the volume of the sphere by 2.Vhemisphere=2Vsphere≈267.020ft3≈33.510ft3Round the result to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.Vhemisphere≈33.5ft3
