The volume of the hemisphere is:
_________________________________________________________
" \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
\pi * h³
" ;

or; write as: "
(2 \pi h^3)/(3)
" .
_________________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_________________________________________________________
The formula/equation for the volume, "V", of a sphere:

V = (
(4)/(3)) *
\pi * r³ ;

The depth; or, height, "h"; would represent the "radius", "r" .

So, the volume would be:

V =
(1)/(2) *
(4)/(3) *
\pi * h³ ;
_________________________________________________________
Note: "
(1)/(2) *
(4)/(3) " ;

=
((1*4))/((2*3)) = (4)/(6) = ((4/2))/((6/2)) = (2)/(3) ;
_________________________________________________________
The volume of the hemisphere is:

" \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
\pi * h³
. "

or; write as: "
(2 \pi h^3)/(3)
" .
