Question

A soccer dome shaped like a hemisphere has a volume of 450,000 cubic meters. What is the area of its floor? Use 3.14 for π in your calculations and round your answer to the nearest square meters

Answer 1

3282 m^2

Explanation:

volume of a hemisphere = (2/3) x (n) x (r^3)

n = 22/7

r = radius

r = (450,000 x (3/2) x(1/3.14)) ^1/3

r = 45.72

Area of a semicircle = 1/2 x n x r^2

1/2 x 45.72^2 x 3.14 = 3282 m^2
