Exercise 38 Page 638

A hemisphere is the name of a solid that is half of a sphere.

Therefore, the volume of a hemisphere with radius r is half the volume of a sphere with radius r. Volume of a Hemisphere [0.8em] V=1/2(4/3π r^3) ⇔ V=2/3π r^3 To use this formula we first need to calculate the radius. To do so, we will consider the given hemisphere.

In the diagram we can see that the diameter is 17 feet. Therefore, the radius is 17÷ 2= 8.5 feet. We can substitute this value for r in the formula for the volume of a hemisphere and simplify.

V=2/3π r^3

Substitute

r= 8.5

V=2/3π ( 8.5)^3
