Answer:

Explanation:

Use the volume of a sphere formula and then multiply it by .5 to get half of it, since a hemisphere is half of a sphere. Doing that gives us the formula:


V=(4)/(3)\pi r^3(1)/(2) which simplifies to


V=(2)/(3)\pi r^3 . Now, filling in what we were given:


45729=(2)/(3)\pi r^3 which simplifies a bit to


137187=2\pi r^3. We divide by 2π to get


2183.98918=r^3 and take the cubed root on your calculator to get that

r = 27.9"

Answer:


Volume= 45729in^3\\\\


Radius=r


2/3\pi r^3=45729


r^3=3*45729\\~~~~------\\~~~~~~2*3.14


r^3=21845.06


r=27.95~in
