Q. What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 55.8in, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch?Answer: in3
Recall Sphere Volume Formula: Recall the formula for the volume of a sphere.The volume V 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 need to divide this volume by 2 to get the volume of a hemisphere.
Substitute Given Radius: Substitute the given radius into the formula for the volume of a hemisphere.The radius r is given as 55.8 inches. So, the volume V of the hemisphere is V=21×34π(55.8)3.
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume using the substituted values.V=21×34π(55.8)3V=32π(55.8)3V=32π(55.8×55.8×55.8)V≈32π(175032.152)
Perform Multiplication and Division: Perform the multiplication and division to find the volume.V≈32×π×175032.152V≈116688.10133333333×πV≈366519.4815 cubic inches (using π≈3.14159)
Round to Nearest Tenth: Round the result to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch.The volume of the hemisphere, rounded to the nearest tenth, is approximately 366519.5 cubic inches.
