The radius of the fruit is 3 times the radius of the seed. It is known that the seed has a volume of 100 cubic centimeters. What is the volume of edible fruit rounded to the nearest cubic centimeter?

the edible fruit=fruit-seed

alright

vsphere=4/3pir^3

so if the volume is 100
of the seed

100=(4)/(3)\pi r^3
find r
times both sides by 3/4

75=\pi r^3
divide both sides by pi

(75)/(\pi)= r^3
cube root both sides

\sqrt[3]{(75)/(\pi)}= r
this is the seed radius
3 times of taht is the radius of the fruit

3\sqrt[3]{(75)/(\pi)}=radiusfruit

input into equation
use radius fruit for r

V=(4)/(3)\pi r^3

V=(4)/(3)\pi (3\sqrt[3]{(75)/(\pi)})^3

V=(4)/(3)\pi (27)((75)/(\pi))

V=(8100\pi)/(3\pi)

V=2700 cm^3

so the edible part is 2700-100=2600 cm³
