The first thing we are going to do for this case is to model the igloo as a hemisphere.
The volume of the hemisphere is:
V = ((4/3) * (pi) * (r ^ 3)) / 2
Where,
r: sphere radio
We have then that the internal diameter is:
di = 12-1.5
di = 10.5 feet
So the radio is:
r = di / 2
r = 10.5 / 2
r = 5.25 feet
Substituting values:
V = ((4/3) * (pi) * ((5.25) ^ 3)) / 2
V = 303.1 feet ^ 3
Answer:
the amount of space of the living area inside the igloo is:
V = 303.1 feet ^ 3
