Antarctica is roughly semicircular, with a radius of 2.00103 km (see the figure). The average thickness of its ice cover is 3.00103 m. How many cubic centimeters of ice does Antarctica contain? (Ignore the curvature of Earth.)

r=2.00∙〖10〗^3 km=2.00∙〖10〗^8 cm d=3.00∙〖10〗^3 m=3.00∙〖10〗^5 cm The volume is V=(πr^2)/2 d=(π(2.00∙〖10〗^8 )^2)/2 (3.00∙〖10〗^5 )=1.88∙〖10〗^22 cm^3.
