Answer:

The radius of the watermelon was 5 milimeters.

Explanation:

Since Joel went to the market to buy a juicy watermelon and found the volume was 523.6 square mm., To determine what is the radius of the watermelon, the following calculation must be performed, knowing that the volume of a sphere is equal to four thirds multiplied by pi, multiplied by the radius cubed:

4/3 x 3.14 x X^3 = 523.6

4.186 x X^3 = 523.6

X^3 = 523.6 / 4.186

X = 3√ 125.06

X = 5

Therefore, the radius of the watermelon was 5 milimeters.
