Note that it is a hemisphere, which is a half of a sphere.


Since the volume of a sphere with radius #r# is #4/3pir^3#, the volume #V# of a hemisphere with radius #r# is

#V=1/2cdot4/3pi r^3=2/3pi r^3#,

which gives us the differential

#dV=2pir^2dr#.

Since

#{(dr=0.07 "cm" =0.0007 "m"),(r=50 "m"):}#,

we can approximate

#Delta V approx dV=2pi(50)^2(0.0007)=3.5piapprox 11.00 "cm"^3#


I hope that this was helpful.
