If the hemispheres have a radius of 3 feet, how many cubic feet of water can it hold?

The volume of the two hemispheres  = the volume of one sphere with the same radius =

 

(4/3)pi(r)^3   =

 

(4/3)pi (3ft) ^3  =

 

36pi ft^3

 

The volume of the cylinder separating them =

 

pi * r^2 * h  =

 

pi *(3ft)^2 * (13 ft)  =

 

117 ft^3

 

So.....the total volume =

 

pi [ 36 + 117] ft^3  =

 

pi [ 153]  ft^3  =    about 480.66 ft^3

 

 

cool cool cool
