Question

28. Tom's boss told him to make meatballs with a volume of 33.5 cm'. What is the approximate

diameter of each meatball?
Show your work
a) 2 cm
b) 4 cm
c) 6 cm
d) 8 cm

Answer 1

(B) 4 cm

Explanation:

Assuming the meatballs are shaped like spheres, we can set up an equation to solve for the radius of each meatball:

`(4)/(3)\pi r^(3) =33.5`

Then, solve for "r" by approximating pi to 3.1415 to get r = 1.9997... . Since the diameter is twice the radius, it will be 3.9995... which is approximately 4 cm.

Hope this helps :)
