Question

    The volume of a hemisphere is 2425 (1/ 2) cm3. Find its diameter (Take p = 22/7)

    A 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 21 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the radius of the hemisphere be R   (2/3) x (22/7) × R3 = 2425.5 (2/3) × (22/7) x R³ = (4851/2)   (2/3) × (22/7) x R³ = (99 x 49)/2 R³ = (3 x 3 x 11 × 7 × 7 × 3 × 7)/ (2 x 2 x 2 x 11) R³ = (3 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 7 × 7)/ (2 x 2 x 2) R = (3 x 7)/2 R = 10.5 cm. 2R=21cm The radius of the hemisphere is 21cm cm
