Question

The diameter of a beach ball is 10 inches. How many cubic inches of air can the beach ball hold? Use 3.14. Round to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch.

Answer 1

Hey!

So, it looks like we got the volume of a sphere. We know that the formula for it when we got the diameter is,
`V=(\pi d^3)/(6)`
We are going to use 3.14 for
`\pi`

`V=(3.14* d^3)/(6)`
Let's plug in the values,

`V=(3.14*10^3)/(6)`
Simplify,

`V=(500*3.14 )/(3)`
Our volume of the beach ball is,
V ≈ 523.333333333
Round to the nearest tenth.
V ≈ 523.3 in³

Thanks!
