Question

What is the approximate radius of the bowl shown that is shaped as a hemisphere

Answer 1

Answer:

Approximate radius of the given hemisphere is 3 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to calculate the volume of a hemisphere is given by,

V = $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^{3}$

Since, volume of the given hemisphere in the picture = 56.52 in²

By substituting the value of V in the formula,

56.52 = $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^{3}$

Now solve the expression for the value of 'r',

r³ = $\frac{3}{2\pi }(56.52)$

r³ = 26.99

r = ∛(26.99)

r = 3 in.

Therefore, approximate radius of the given hemisphere is 3 in.
