The volume of a hemisphere is half the volume of a sphere with the same radius.

1072.3cm^3

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

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 fact that the radius is half of the diameter. r=1/2d We can substitute 16 for d in the above formula and solve for the radius r.

r=1/2d

Substitute

d= 16

r=1/2 16

r=8

The radius measures 8cm. We can substitute this value in the formula for the volume of a hemisphere and simplify.

V=2/3π r^3
