Drills

Four thirds of πr³ with only the radius cubed, and hemispheres taken as exact halves.

Author note — to cover

Four thirds of pi r cubed, cubing only the radius, hemispheres as exact halves, and reverse problems recovering r by cube root. G17 requires calculating with the formula, which it does not list among those to know. Composite solids with hemispheres follow. Both tiers. (G17)
