What is the volume of a hemisphere with a diameter of 7.1 ft, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The volume of the hemisphere is:  93.7  cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the volume of a sphere of radius R is given by:

[tex]Sphere's\,\,Volume=\frac{4}{3} \pi\,R^3[/tex]

therefore, the volume of a hemisphere would be half of such:

[tex]Hemisphere's\,\,Volume=\frac{2}{3} \pi\,R^3[/tex]

Now,the radius of the hemisphere must be half of its diameter, that is:

7.1 ft /2 = 3.55 ft

Now, when we use this value in the hemisphere's volume formula, we get:

[tex]Hemisphere's\,\,Volume=\frac{2}{3} \pi\,R^3\\Hemisphere's\,\,Volume=\frac{2}{3} \pi\,(3.55)^3\\Hemisphere's\,\,Volume=93.70088\,\,ft^3[/tex]

Which rounded to the nearest tenth gives:  93.7  cubic feet
