A prop for the theater club’s play is constructed as a cone topped with a half- sphere. What is the volume of the prop? Round yo
ur answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch. Use 3.14 to approximate pi, and make certain to show your work. Hint: you may need to find the volume of the component shapes
1 answer:
The volume of the prop is calculated to be 1,875.6 cubic cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; The prop consists of a cone and a half-sphere on top. We will have to calculate the volumes of the cone and the half-sphere separately and then add them to obtain the total volume.
Step 2; The volume of a cone is determined by multiplying with π, the square of the radius (r²) and height (h). Here we substitute π as 3.14. The radius is 8 cm and the height is 12 cm.
The volume of the cone = × 3.14 × 8 × 8 × 12 = 803.84 cubic cm.
Step 3; The area of a half-sphere is half of a full sphere. The volume of a sphere is given by multiplying with π and the cube of the radius (r³). Here the radius is 8cm. We take π as 3.14.
The volume of a full sphere = × 3.14 × r³ =
× π × 8³ = 2,143.5733 cubic cm.
The volume of a half-sphere = = 1,071.7866 cubic cm.
Step 4; The total volume = The volume of the cone + The volume of the half sphere,
The total volume = 803.84 cubic cm + 1,071.7866 cubic cm = 1,875.6266 cubic cm. By rounding this off to the nearest tenth we get 1,875.6 cubic cm.

A. You would start off by a rectangle in the middle, then you would place to squares on the bottom and top if the rectangle. After you've done that, you place two rectangles (Same size as the original) on both sides of the original rectangle. Finally you add a rectangle (Same size) to either ends of the secondary rectangles. It should look like this.
B. You would start off with a rectangle in the middle, then you would add 2 equilateral triangles to the top and bottom of the rectangle. After that, you Simply put 2 rectangles (Same size as the original) on both sides of the rectangle. It should look something like this.
C. To make a pyramid, it's actually quite simple. You would start off with a square in the middle, and then place equilateral triangles on ALL sides of the square. It should look something like this.
