An igloo can be modeled as a hemisphere. Its radius measures 6.3 m. Find its volume in cubic meters. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

1 answer

The volume of a hemisphere can be calculated using the formula:

V = (2/3) * π * r^3

Plugging in the given radius of 6.3 m:

V = (2/3) * π * (6.3)^3
V = (2/3) * π * 250.047
V = 166.698 * π
V ≈ 523.9 cubic meters

Therefore, the volume of the igloo is approximately 523.9 cubic meters.
