James has an ice cube tray that makes ice in the shape of spheres rather than cubes each sphere of ice has a radius of 2 cm one tray makes 6 spheres what is the total volume of ice the tray can make at one time

Answer:

64pi

Explanation:

So the volume of a sphere is 4/3pi r^3. So the total area would be 6*4/3*8*pi. So that’s 64pi.

Answer:

201.06 cubic centimeters.

Explanation:

Hello

I think I can help you with this

the volume of a sphere is given by:


V=(4*\pi*r^(3)  )/(3)

where r is the radius of the sphere

to solve this question you just have to put the values into the formula and multiply by the number of spheres in the ice cube tray

Let

the number of spheres in the ice cube tray=6

radius = 2 cm

the total volume is


V=6*((4*\pi*r^(3) )/(3))\\V=6*((4*\pi*(2cm)^(3) )/(3))\\v=(192\pi )/(3) \\v=201.06\ cubic\ centimeters

Have a good day.
