Q. What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 7.1ft, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?Answer: ft3
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 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 a radius of 7.1ft. Using the formula V=34πr3, we substitute r with 7.1ft. V=34π(7.1)3
Evaluate Sphere Volume: Evaluate the expression to find the volume of the sphere. V=34π(7.1)3=34π(357.911)Now, calculate the numerical value using π≈3.14159.V≈34×3.14159×357.911V≈4×3.14159×89.47775V≈12.56636×89.47775V≈1125.664
Divide by 2 for Hemisphere: Divide the volume of the sphere by 2 to get the volume of the hemisphere.Since a hemisphere is half of a sphere, we take the volume calculated in Step 3 and divide it by 2.Volume of hemisphere =1125.664/2Volume of hemisphere ≈562.832
Round Hemisphere Volume: Round the volume of the hemisphere to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot. 562.832 rounded to the nearest tenth is 562.8.
