D 2 in

Answer 1

the answer is 2.

Explanation:

i just did this question on the exam

Answer 2

D. 2 inches.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Volume of golf (sphere) = 4 in³

A golf ball is spherical in shape. Thus, to find its volume we would use the formula for the volume of a sphere.

`Volume \; of \; a \; sphere = \frac {4}{3} \pi r^(3)`

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`4 = \frac {4}{3} * 3.142* r^(3)`

Cross-multiplying, we have;

`12 = 4 * 3.142* r^(3)`

`12 = 12.568 * r^(3)`

`r^(3) = \frac {12.568}{12}`

`r^(3) = 1.0473`

Taking the cube root of both sides, we have;

Radius, r = 1.016 inches.

To find the diameter;

Diameter = radius * 2

Diameter = 1.016 * 2

Diameter = 2.03 ≈ 2 inches.
