Question

A prop for the theater club’s play is constructed as a cone topped with a half-sphere. What is the volume of the prop? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch. Use 3.14 to approximate pi. Show all your work for all 3 pieces: The half-sphere, the cone and the prop. See attachment for picture of cone/half sphere.

Answer 1

3.14 x 9^2 x 14/3 = 1186.92

4/3 x 3.14 x 9^3 = 1526.04

1186.92 + 1526.04 = 2712.96 = 2713 cubic inches
