What is the volume of a hemisphere with a diameter of 52.9 in, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch?

Answer 1

Hi Lenora W.

You can use the formula for the Volume of a Sphere, since a Hemisphere is half of a sphere. Like the radius is half of the diameter. Check this formula Volume of a sphere is

(4/3)∏*(radius)³

A Hemisphere would be half of this

(4/3)∏*(raduis)³ * 1/2

Can you continue by looking up the formulas to make sure they are correct then just plug in your numbers.

To get you started, I will do the radius, since it is half the diameter then

52.9 * 1/2 = 26.45 is your radius.

I hope this helps you to finish up.
