Question

. A fishing bobber has a radius of 0.5 inch. Find the volume of the fishing bobber. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Given:

The radius of the fishing bobber = 0.5 inch.

To find:

The volume of the find bobber.

Solution:

We know that the shape of fishing bobber is a sphere.

The volume of a sphere is:

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

Substitute r=0.5 and
`\pi=3.14` to find the volume of the fishing bobber.

`V=(4)/(3)(3.14)(0.5)^3`

`V=(4)/(3)(3.14)(0.125)`

`V=0.52333...`

Approx the value to the nearest tenth.

`V\approx 0.5`

Therefore, the volume of the fishing bobber is 0.5 cubic inches.
