Answer

$2,095.24$ cubic inches

Work Step by Step

The volume $(V)$ of a sphereis given by the formula: $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi{r^3}$ where $r$=radius The given figure involves a hemisphere whose radius is 10 inches. Using the formula above, and knowing that a hemisphere is half of a sphere, then the volume of the given hemisphere is: $V=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \left[\frac{4}{3}(\frac{22}{7})(10^3)\right] \\V=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{88}{21}(1000) \\V=1,095.238095 \\V\approx 2,095.24$ Therefore, the volume of the hemisphere is $2,095.24$ cubic inches.
