Jambmaths question:
The volume of hemispherical bowl is 718$\tfrac{2}{3}$ cm. Find its radius
Option A:
3.8cm
Option B:
4.0 cm
Option C:
5.6cm
Option D:
7.0cm
Jamb Maths Solution:
$\begin{align} & \text{Volume of an hemisphere is }=\tfrac{2}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}} \\ & \tfrac{2}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}=718\tfrac{2}{3} \\ & \tfrac{2}{3}\times \tfrac{22}{7}\times {{r}^{3}}=\tfrac{2156}{3} \\ & {{r}^{3}}=\frac{2156}{3}\times \frac{7}{22}\times \frac{3}{2} \\ & {{r}^{3}}=49\times 7 \\ & r=\sqrt[3]{7\times 7\times 7}=7 \\\end{align}$
