Let the radius of the hemisphere be r\ m

Inside the surface area of the dome = 249.48\ m^2

We know, Surface area of a hemisphere = 2\pi r^2

\\ \therefore 2\pi r^2 = 249.48 \\ \Rightarrow r^2 = \frac{249.48\times7}{2\times22} \\ \Rightarrow r = 6.3\ m

\therefore  The volume of the hemisphere = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3

= \frac{2}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times (6.3)^3

= 523.908\ m^3
