Answer:

C. 262 cm

Explanation:

Use the formula for the volume of a sphere, V =
(4)/(3)
$\pi$ r³

Since the diameter is 10 cm, the radius will be 5 cm

Plug in the radius into the formula:

V =
(4)/(3)
$\pi$ (5³)

V =
(4)/(3)
$\pi$ (125)

V = 523.6

Since the bowl is a hemisphere, divide this by 2:

523.6/2

= 261.8

Rounding to the nearest cm, the volume of the bowl is 262 cubic cm.

So, the correct answer is C. 262 cm
