Question

What is the volume of a hemisphere that has a diameter of 12.6 cm, to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter?

Answer 1

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 pi r^3
A hemisphere is half a sphere so 1/2*4/3 pi r^3 = 2/3 pi r^3
Given diameter = 12.6 but we need radius so diameter /2 or 12.6/2 r=6.3
2/3*pi*6.3^3 =
2/3*pi*250.047
166.698*pi
= 523.7
