\(\displaystyle 679.05\)

\(\displaystyle 636.70\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 636.70\)

Explanation:

13

In order to find the volume of the figure, we will first need to find the volumes of the cylinder and of the half sphere.

Recall how to find the volume of a cylinder:

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Cylinder}=\pi\times\text{radius}^2\times\text{height}\)

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Cylinder}=\pi\times 4^2 \times 10=160\pi\)

Next, find the volume of the half sphere.

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Half sphere}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{4}{3}\pi\times\text{radius}^3)=\frac{2}{3}\pi\times\text{radius}^3\)

Plug in the radius to find the volume of the half sphere.

Example Question #21 : Spheres

A sphere with a radius of \(\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}\) is cut out of a cube that has a side length of \(\displaystyle 2\). What is the volume of the resulting figure?

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 6.23\)

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Since the cube is bigger, we will be subtracting the volume of the sphere from the volume of the cube.

Start by recalling how to find the volume of a sphere.

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Sphere}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\)

Plug in the given radius to find the volume.

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Sphere}=\frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{3}{4})^3=\frac{9}{16}\pi\)

Next, recall how to find the volume of a cube:

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Cube}=(\text{edge})^3\)

Plug in the given side length to find the volume of the cube.

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Cube}=2^3=8\)

Finally, subtract the volume of the sphere from the volume of the cube.

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Figure}=8-\frac{9}{16}\pi=6.23\)

Make sure to round to \(\displaystyle 2\) places after the decimal.
