Q. What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 52.6cm, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter?Answer: cm3
Recall Sphere Volume Formula: Recall the formula for the volume of a sphere.The volume of a sphere is given by the formula V=34πr3, where r is the radius of the sphere. Since a hemisphere is half of a sphere, we will need to divide the volume of a sphere by 2 to get the volume of a hemisphere.
Calculate Sphere Volume: Calculate the volume of a sphere with the given radius.First, we calculate the volume of a full sphere using the radius 52.6cm.Vsphere=34π(52.6)3
Perform Sphere Volume Calculation: Perform the calculation for the volume of a sphere.Vsphere=34π(52.6)3=34π(52.6×52.6×52.6)Vsphere≈34π(145,973.36)Vsphere≈34×3.14159×145,973.36Vsphere≈4×3.14159×36,493.34Vsphere≈458,905.6 cubic centimeters
Calculate Hemisphere Volume: Calculate the volume of the hemisphere.Since a hemisphere is half of a sphere, we divide the volume of the sphere by 2.Vhemisphere=2VsphereVhemisphere≈2458,905.6Vhemisphere≈229,452.8 cubic centimeters
Round Hemisphere Volume: Round the volume of the hemisphere to the nearest tenth. Vhemisphere≈229,452.8cm3When rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume is approximately 229,452.8cm3, as it is already at the nearest tenth.
