Q. What is the volume of a hemisphere with a diameter of 8.6ft 8.6 \mathrm{ft} , rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?\newlineAnswer: ft3 \mathrm{ft}^{3}
  1. Calculate Sphere Volume: To find the volume of a hemisphere, we first need to find the volume of a full sphere and then divide it by 22. The formula for the volume of a sphere is V=43πr3V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3, where rr is the radius of the sphere.
  2. Find Hemisphere Radius: The diameter of the hemisphere is given as 8.68.6 feet. The radius rr is half of the diameter, so we need to divide 8.68.6 by 22 to find the radius.\newliner=8.6 ft2=4.3 ftr = \frac{8.6 \text{ ft}}{2} = 4.3 \text{ ft}
  3. Substitute Radius in Formula: Now we can substitute the radius into the volume formula for a sphere and then divide by 22 to find the volume of the hemisphere.\newlineVhemisphere=12×43πr3V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\newlineVhemisphere=12×43π(4.3 ft)3V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}\pi(4.3 \text{ ft})^3
  4. Calculate Volume: Let's calculate the volume using the values we have:\newlineVhemisphere=12×43π(4.3ft)3V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}\pi(4.3 \, \text{ft})^3\newlineVhemisphere=12×43π(79.507ft3)V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}\pi(79.507 \, \text{ft}^3) (since 4.33=79.5074.3^3 = 79.507)
  5. Perform Multiplication: Now we perform the multiplication:\newlineVhemisphere=12×43×π×79.507ft3V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times 79.507 \, \text{ft}^3\newlineVhemisphere=23×π×79.507ft3V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{2}{3} \times \pi \times 79.507 \, \text{ft}^3
  6. Use Approximate Value for π\pi: We can now use the approximate value for π\pi 3.141593.14159 to calculate the volume:Vhemisphere=(23)×3.14159×79.507ft3V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \times 3.14159 \times 79.507 \, \text{ft}^3Vhemisphere167.551ft3V_{\text{hemisphere}} \approx 167.551 \, \text{ft}^3
  7. Round to Nearest Tenth: Finally, we round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot as requested: Vhemisphere167.6ft3V_{\text{hemisphere}} \approx 167.6 \, \text{ft}^3
