Volume of a Sphere and a Hemisphere
Vocabulary
A sphere is the locus of points in space that are a fixed distance from a given point called the
center of a sphere. A radius of a sphere connects the center of the sphere to any point on the
sphere. A hemisphere is half of a sphere. A great circle divides a sphere into two hemispheres.
Volume of a Hemisphere is
one-half of the volume of a
sphere:
Simplify equation:
The first figure shows a hemisphere. The second figure shows a cylinder with a cone removed from its
interior. The cross sections have the same area at every level, so the volumes are equal by Cavalieris
Principle.
