To find the volume of a hemisphere, we can use the formula:
Volume = (2/3) * pi * r^3
where "r" is the radius of the hemisphere.
Given that the diameter is 37.6 m, we need to find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2:
Radius = Diameter / 2 = 37.6 m / 2 = 18.8 m
Now, we can substitute this value into the formula:
Volume = (2/3) * pi * (18.8^3)
Calculating this equation will give us the volume of the hemisphere in cubic meters.
To round the volume to the nearest tenth, we can use the following steps:
1. Calculate the volume.
2. Round the volume to the nearest tenth.
3. Identify the digit in the hundredths place (the next decimal place after the tenth).
4. If the digit is 5 or greater, round up the value in the tenth place. If the digit is less than 5, keep the value in the tenth place as it is.
Let's calculate the volume now:
Volume = (2/3) * 3.1416 * (18.8^3)
≈ (2/3) * 3.1416 * (6537.344)
≈ 8601.7747 cubic meters
Now, let's round this value to the nearest tenth:
The digit in the hundredths place is 4, which is less than 5. Therefore, we keep the value in the tenth place as it is.
Volume ≈ 8601.8 cubic meters (rounded to the nearest tenth)
