Answer:
$137.82
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a hemisphere stone is given by the volume of a half-sphere:
Volume = (2/3) * pi * radius^3
If the diameter is 16 inches, the radius is 16/2 = 8 inches, so the volume is:
Volume = (2/3) * pi * 8^3 = 1072.33 in3
We need a total of 8 stones, so the total volume is:
Total Volume = 8 * 1072.33 = 8578.64 in3
The density of clay is 0.0035 pounds per cubic inch, so the total weight of the 8 stones is:
Weight = Total Volume * density = 8578.63 * 0.0035 = 30.0252 pounds
Finally, if the price of each pound of clay if $4,59, the final price is:
Price = 30.0252 * 4.59 = $137.82
