Question

The diameter of a wrecking ball used to tear down buildings is 3.5 ft. What is the volume ( to the nearest hundredth) Use 3.14 for pi and round each approximation to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

22.44 ft

Explanation:

The radius is equal to half of the diameter or 1.75 ft (in this case).

The volume of a sphere is defined as the equation:

V = 4/3 * pi * radius ^ 3

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 1.75 ^ 3

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 5.36

V = 22.44 ft
