Question

The standard baseball measures 2 11/16" in diameter. What is its volume (to the nearest hundredth)?

Answer 1

if the diameter = 2+11/16 inches, radius=diameter/2= 1+11/32 inches

volume of a sphere is (4/3)pi*r^3 = 10.16

Answer 2

`10.16` inch³

Explanation:

The shape of a baseball is sphere. Given that, the diameter of the baseball is
`2(11)/(16)` inches.

So radius will be,

`=(2(11)/(16))/(2)`

`=((43)/(16))/(2)`

`=(43)/(32)` inches.

We know that, the volume of a sphere is,

`V_(sphere)=(4)/(3)\pi r^3`

`=(4)/(3)\pi \left((43)/(32)\right )^3`

`=10.163\appox =10.16` inch³
