please check the answer The height is 50 cm and the radius is 22 cm. Find the volume of the cylinder minus the hemisphere
A) 53,698.2 cc B) 161,094.6 cc C) 214,792.8 cc D) 415,818.0 cc
I got A as my first answer, but when I did that I forgot to divide the volume of the hemisphere by 2 and I got A when I didvided the volume of the hemisphere I got as the answer 64843 which is not included in the choices
what should I do ?
Hmm... What is the volume of the half hemisphere?
A sphere is a perfectly round geometrical object that is three dimensional, with every point on its surface equidistant from its center. Many commonly-used objects such as balls or globes are spheres. If you want to calculate the volume of a sphere, you just have to find its radius and plug it into a simple formula, V = ⁴⁄₃πr³
here is the calc if the rad is 1
I got this 2/3 pi r^3 = 2/3 * 3.14 * 22^3 = 22289.81 divide by 2 11144.90667
first you must cube the radius so 22*22*22
it is 10648
should I use given formula instead ⁴⁄₃πr³
ok and then?
then you must multiply it by 3/4, or .75
what did you get?
7986
oops I meant 4/3
sorry on that
14197.333
ok now multiply that by PI, or 3.14, to get the volume.
that will be 44579.62667
but then you will have to divide it by 2
because its half the size.
so it will be 22289.81
yes
yes. now put that number aside, and find the entire cylindrer volume incliding the sphere
then minus what you get by the volume of the sphere half
and theres your answer
ok I used this to find the v. of cylinder pi r^2 h = 3.14 * 22^2 *50 I got 75988
did u minus the sphere half?
yes
Ok than that's the answer
by subtracting I got 53698.19
which is A
thanks a lot @Dbzfan836 for your help :)
Good!
Thnks for the medal
These problems are usually a bit easier if you keep \(\pi\) as a symbol for as long as possible, and other numbers as fractions instead of decimals. Here the volume of the hemisphere is \[V_{hemi}=\frac\{1}{2}*\frac{4}{3}\pi(22)^3=\frac{21296}{3}\pi\] Volume of the cylinder is \[V_{cyl}=\pi(22)^2(50)=24200\pi=\frac{72600}{3}\pi\] Volume left after subtracting hemisphere is \[V_{rem}=V_{cyl}-V_{hemi}=\frac{72600-21296}{3}\pi\approx 53725\]the larger value is because the rounded \(\pi\) down to \(3.14\) for the calculation, and when you are multiplying by a number with 5 places to the left of the decimal point, the places to the right of the decimal point have an appreciable impact. One more argument for keeping work and answers in exact symbolic form; you can easily convert from that to a decimal if needed, but going in the opposite direction is more difficult to do, especially if you have done the intermediate calculations with lower precision. I did the entire calculation above mentally and got a closer answer than they did!
