1152\text{ }\pi cm^3

Step-by-step explanation

the volume of a hemisphere is given by:


\text{Volume}_(hemisphere)=(2)/(3)\cdot\pi\cdot r^3

where r is the radius

then


\begin{gathered} Diameter=2\text{radius} \\ \frac{\text{Diameter}}{2}=r \\ \frac{24\text{ cm}}{2}=r \\ r=12\text{ cm} \end{gathered}

now, replace.


\begin{gathered} \text{Volume}_(hemisphere)=(2)/(3)\cdot\pi\cdot r^3 \\ \text{Volume}_(hemisphere)=(2)/(3)\cdot\pi\cdot(12\operatorname{cm})^3 \\ \text{Volume}_(hemisphere)=(2)/(3)\cdot\pi\cdot1728cm^3 \\ \text{Volume}_(hemisphere)=1152\text{ }\pi cm^3 \end{gathered}

so, the answer is


\text{Volume}_(hemisphere)=1152\text{ }\pi cm^3

I hope this helps you
