Question

A baseball is shaped like a sphere. The radius of a baseball is 3.7 centimeters. Which measurement is closest to the volume of the ball in cubic centimeters? (Choose one)

a) 119.35 cm³
b) 46.50 cm³
c) 212.17 cm³
d) 92.99 cm³

Answer 1

The volume of the baseball is approximately 119.35 cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula V = (4/3)πR³, where R is the radius of the sphere. In this case, the radius of the baseball is 3.7 centimeters. Plugging this value into the formula, we get:

V = (4/3)π(3.7 cm)³

V ≈ 119.35 cm³
