Answer:

The volume of the hemisphere is approximately 231,623.3 m³

Explanation:

The radius of the hemisphere in the question, r = 48 m

A hemisphere is obtained by sharing a sphere into two halves

The radius of the hemisphere = The radius of the sphere which describes it

∴ The volume of a hemisphere = The volume of a sphere ÷ 2

The volume of a sphere = (4/3)·π·r³

∴ The volume of a hemisphere = (4/3)·π·r³ ÷ 2 = (2/3)·π·r³

∴ The volume of the given hemisphere with 48 m radius, V = (2/3) × π × 48³

∴ V = (2/3) × π × (48 m)³ = 231,623.343164 m³

When the measure of the volume of the hemisphere is rounded to the nearest tenth, we have, V ≈ 231,623.3 m³.
