A birdbath has a hemispherical bowl with a diameter of 30cm. What is its volume?

  • A. 675 cu cm
  • B. 1350 cu cm
  • C. 2700 cu cm
  • D. 4050 cu cm
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume of a hemispherical bowl, we use half the formula for a sphere's volume: (2/3) * π * (radius)^3. Given the diameter is 30cm, the radius is half of that, which is 15cm. Substitute the radius into the formula: (2/3) * π * (15cm)^3 ≈ 2700 cu cm. Therefore, the correct volume is approximately 2700 cu cm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume of the hemispherical bowl.
