Use the formula for the volume of a sphere.
18Ï€ cubic centimeters
Cement is poured into the following hemisphere with a diameter of 6 centimeters.
Since the radius is half of the diameter, we get that it is equal to r= 62= 3 centimeters. We are asked to find the volume of the hemisphere, V_\text{hemisphere}. Let's use the formula for the volume of a sphere.
{\color{#FF0000}{V_\text{sphere}}}={\color{#0000FF}{{\color{#FF0000}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3}}}}
r= 3
