What is the volume of the orange?

Use 3.14 for pi.

Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.

Answer 1

volume of the orange is, 14.13 cubic inches

Explanation:

Volume of sphere (V) is given by:

`V = (4)/(3) \pi r^3` ....[1]

where,

r is the radius of the sphere.

As per the statement:

Since, the orange is in the shape of sphere.

The radius of an orange is 1.5 inches.

⇒r = 1.5 inches

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;

Use 3.14 for pi

then;

`V = (4)/(3) \cdot 3.14 \cdot (1.5)^3`

Simplify:

`V = 14.13 in^3`

Therefore, the volume of the orange is, 14.13 cubic inches
