\text{volume = 1,527.43 ft}^3

Here, we want to get the volume of the greenhouse

In otherwords, we are told to get the volume of the hemisphere

Mathematically, we have this as;


V\text{ = }(2)/(3)*\pi* r^3^{}

From the question, what we have is the diameter and what we need is the radius

The radius is half the diameter and that is;

18/2 = 9 feet

We substitute this into the volume formula;


V\text{ = }(2)/(3)*(22)/(7)*9^3\text{ = 1,527.43}
