Answer:

r = 7.1 cm

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Volume of hemisphere = 757 cm³

To find the radius of the hemisphere;

Mathematically, the volume of a hemisphere is given by the formula;

Volume of hemisphere = ⅔πr³

Where, r is the radius of the hemisphere.

π = 22/7

Substituting into the formula, we have;

757 = ⅔πr³

Cross-multiplying, we have;

757 * 3 = 2πr³

2271 = 2*22/7*r³

2271 = 44/7*r³

Cross-multiplying, we have;

2271 * 7 = 44r³

15897 = 44r³

r³ = 15897/44

r³ = 361.30

Taking the cube root of both sides, we have;

r = 7.1223

To the nearest tenth of a centimeter;

r = 7.1 cm
