During play, a ball with a diameter of 3.00 inches splits exactly in half. What is the volume of each portion of the ball?

To find the volume of each portion of the ball, we first need to find the volume of the original ball.

The volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula:
V = (4/3) * π * r^3

Given that the diameter of the ball is 3.00 inches, we can calculate the radius by dividing the diameter by 2:
r = 3.00 inches / 2 = 1.50 inches

Now we can plug in the value of the radius into the formula to find the volume of the original ball:
V_original = (4/3) * π * (1.50 inches)^3

Calculating this will give us the volume of the original ball. To find the volume of each half, we simply divide the volume of the original ball by 2.

Here's the formula for the volume of a sphere.

V=4/3πr^3

Plug in the numbers. Then divide by 2.

The volume of a hemisphere is equal to two thirds of the cube of the radius by pi.

V = 7068.58 cubic inches
