Use the image to answer the question.

A hemisphere is placed on top of an inverted cone. The back of the circumference, the radius, and the perpendicular height of the cone are marked with dashed lines. The radius and the height make a right angle and are perpendicular.

To find the volume of the whole object (composed of a hemisphere and a cone), we need to calculate the volume of the hemisphere and then add it to the volume of the cone.

  1. Given Information:

    • Volume of the cone = 12 m³
    • Height of the cone = diameter of the hemisphere.
  2. Relationship Between Cone and Hemisphere: Since the height of the cone is equal to the diameter of the hemisphere, if we let the radius of the hemisphere be \( r \), then:

    • Diameter of the hemisphere = \( 2r \)
    • Height of the cone = \( 2r \)
  3. Volume of the Hemisphere: The volume \( V \) of a hemisphere is given by the formula: \[ V = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \]

  4. Volume of the Cone: The volume \( V \) of a cone is given by the formula: \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \] Substituting \( h = 2r \): \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 (2r) = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \]

    However, we know that the volume of the cone is given as 12 m³: \[ \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 = 12 \]

  5. Finding the Volume of the Hemisphere: From the above equation, we can find the total volume of the whole object:

    • We can calculate the volume of the hemisphere:

    Since we already find the volume of the cone as \( \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \), which equals 12 m³, it implies that for the hemisphere: \[ V_{\text{hemisphere}} = 12 , \text{m}^3 \]

  6. Total Volume: Thus, the total volume of the whole object: \[ V_{\text{total}} = V_{\text{cone}} + V_{\text{hemisphere}} = 12 , \text{m}^3 + 12 , \text{m}^3 = 24 , \text{m}^3 \]

So, the total volume of the whole object is 24 m³.

Final Answer: 24 m³
