Question

The figure is made up of a cylinder, a cone, and a half sphere. The radius of the half sphere is 3 inches. What is the volume of the composite figure?

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the composite figure is 84π ≅ 263.89 inches³

Step-by-step explanation

- The composite figure consists of :

# Half sphere with radius 3 inches

# Cylinder with radius 3 inches and height 6 inches

# Cone with radius 3 inches and height 4 inches

- The volume of the sphere is 4/3 π r³

∴ The volume of the half sphere = 1/2 × 4/3 π r³ = 2/3 π r³

- The volume of the cylinder is π r² h

- The volume of the cone is 1/3 π r² h

* Now lets solve the problem

- The volume of the half sphere

∵ The radius of the half sphere = 3 inches

∵ The volume of it = 2/3 π r³

∴ The volume = 2/3 × π × (3)³ = 18π inches³

- The volume of the cylinder

∵ The radius of the cylinder = 3 inches

∵ The height of the cylinder = 6 inches

∵ The volume of it = π r² h

∴ Its volume = π × (3)² × 6 = 54π inches³

- The volume of the cone

∵ The radius of the cone = 3 inches

∵ The height of the cone = 4 inches

∵ The volume of it = 1/3 π r² h

∴ Its volume = 1/3 π × (3)² × 4 = 12π inches³

- Add all the volumes to find the volume of the composite figure

∴ The volume = 18π + 54π + 12π = 84π = 263.89 inches³

* The volume of the composite figure is 84π ≅ 263.89 inches³
