Question

a spherical snow globe has a diameter of 4 inches. what is the volume, in cubic inches, of the spherical part of the snow globe

Answer 1

The volume of the snow globe is 78 cubic inches.

Explanation:

Given:

A snow globe consists of a pedestal in the shape of a cube with a sphere mounted on top of the pedestal. The pedestal has an edge length of 4 inches and the sphere has a diameter of 3 inches.

Now, to get the volume of the snow globe.

So, we get the volume of pedestal which is in the shape of cube by putting formula:

Edge = 4 inches.

Volume of pedestal = 64 cubic inches.

Now, to get the volume of sphere by putting formula:

Diameter = 3 inches.

Radius () =

Volume of sphere = 14.131 cubic inches.

Now, to get the volume of snow globe by adding both the volumes, the volume of sphere and the volume of pedestal:

Rounding to the nearest cubic inch = 78 cubic inches.

Therefore, the volume of the snow globe is 78 cubic inches.
