Question

A basketball shaped like a sphere has a diameter of 8 inches. Which measurement is

to the volume of the basketball in cubic inches?

Answer 1

268

Explanation:

The volume formula for a sphere is: V=
`(4)/(3)\pi r^(3)`

We also know that
`\pi` is approximately 3.14.

You have to know these in order to solve the question..

Since we also know the diameter is 8 we can also find the radius (r) ,which is half of the diamater so 4.

Now all we need to do it plug in the numbers.

V=
`(4)/(3)`(3.14)
`4^(3)`

Now solve for the equation.

V=267.94...

So rounded that is 268.
