Correct Answer :

Option D

367.96 cm3

Solution :

The correct option is 367.96 cm3.

To find the volume of a hemisphere, we first need to determine its radius. Let the radius of the hemisphere be denoted as r.

The base of a hemisphere is a circle, and the circumference of this base is given as 35.2 cm. The formula for the circumference of a circle is:

Circumference = 2 π r

Using π = 22 7 and substituting the given circumference, we get:

35.2 = 2 × 22 7 × r

Now, solve for the radius r:

35.2 = 44 7 × r

r = 35.2 × 7 44

r = 0.8 × 7

r = 5.6 cm

Now that we have the radius, we can calculate the volume of the hemisphere. The formula for the volume of a hemisphere is:

Volume = 2 3 π r 3

Substitute the values of π and r into the formula:

Volume = 2 3 × 22 7 × ( 5.6 ) 3

Volume = 2 3 × 22 7 × 5.6 × 5.6 × 5.6

Simplify the terms by dividing 5.6 by 7:

Volume = 2 3 × 22 × 0.8 × 5.6 × 5.6

First, calculate the product in the numerator:
2 × 22 × 0.8 = 35.2
5.6 × 5.6 = 31.36
35.2 × 31.36 = 1103.872

Now, divide by 3:

Volume = 1103.872 3 367.95733...

Rounding off to two decimal places, we get:
Volume 367.96 cm 3
