Answer 1

Golf balls are sold in packages of three and made from a solid rubber material. The diameter of the golf ball is 1.68 inches. Approximately, what is the volume of all three golf balls?​

Remember that

the volume of teh sphere is equal to

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

the volume of three golf balls is

`\begin{gathered} V=3\cdot\lbrack(4)/(3)\cdot\pi\cdot r^3\rbrack \\ V=4\cdot\pi\cdot r^3\rbrack \end{gathered}`

we have

r=1.68/2=0.84 in

pi=3.14

substitute

V=4(3.14)(0.84^3)

V=7.44 in3

answer is 7.44 cubic inches
