Calculating the Volume of a Hemisphere

The video tutorial explains the concept of a hemisphere as a three-dimensional figure that is half a sphere. It derives the formula for calculating the volume of a hemisphere by using the known formula for the volume of a sphere. The tutorial demonstrates the derivation process, simplifying the equation to two-thirds pi times the radius cubed. It then tests the derived formula with an example, confirming its accuracy by comparing it to the volume of half a sphere with the same dimensions.
