Answer:

5749.3 cubic feet

Explanation:

The volume of the storage container would be defined by the volume of the shape; a hemisphere

The volume V of a hemisphere is given as

V = 2/3 π r^3

where r is the radius of the hemisphere

Given that the diameter is 28 feet, the radius = 14 feet

hence the volume

= 2/3 * π * 14^3

= 5749.333333

To the nearest tenth

= 5749.3 cubic feet
