Answer:

254.0 cm³

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere in terms of its radius is ...

V = (4/3)πr³

Then the formula for the volume of a hemisphere in terms of its diameter is ...

V = (1/2)(4/3)π(d/2)³ = (π/12)d³

The volume of the hemisphere is ...

V = (π/12)(9.9 cm)³ ≈ 254.024 cm³

The volume is about 254.0 cm³.
