The radius of a sphere is $p$ units and the radius of a hemisphere is $2p$ units. What is the ratio of the volume of the sphere to the volume of the hemisphere

Answer: [tex]\frac{V_{s}}{V_{h}} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation: A Hemisphere is a half of a sphere.

Volume of sphere is calculated as:

[tex]V_{s}=\frac{4}{3}.\pi.r^{3}[/tex]

then, volume of a hemisphere is:

[tex]V_{h}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{4}{3} .\pi.r^{3}[/tex]

Sphere with radius p has volume:

[tex]V_{s}=\frac{4}{3}.\pi.p^{3}[/tex]

Hemisphere with radius 2p has volume:

[tex]V_{h}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{4}{3} .\pi.(2p)^{3}[/tex]

[tex]V_{h}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{4}{3} .\pi.8p^{3}[/tex]

Ratio of the volumes of sphere to hemisphere will be:

[tex]\frac{V_{s}}{V_{h}}=\frac{4/3.\pi.r^{3}}{4/6.\pi.8.p^{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{V_{s}}{V_{h}} =(\frac{4}{3}.\pi.p^{3})(\frac{6}{4.\pi.8p^{3}})[/tex]

[tex]\frac{V_{s}}{V_{h}}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Ratio of the volume of the sphere to the volume of the hemisphere is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex], which means volume of the hemisphere is 4x the volume of the sphere.
