Radius is half of the diameter .

Diameter 3.5

Radius = -------------------- = --------------- inches

2 2

Plug the value of ' r ' and ' pi 'in this formula , we get

4 22 3.5 3.5 3.5

Volume , V = -------- * -------- * ( --------) * ( ------- ) * (-------- )

3 7 2 2 2

22

where pi = ---------- .

3773

Volume , V = ----------- = 22.4583 cubic inches .

168

Round to nearest hundredth , we get Volume of the fruit as 22.45 cubic inches .
