Question

The dimensions of a beach ball are shown in the diagram below.

17 in
Which measurement is the closest to the volume of the beach ball in cubic
inches?

Answer 1

Volume = 2572.44 in.³

Explanation:

The volume of the beach ball = volume of a sphere = ⁴/3πr³

r = ½(17) = 8.5 in.

Plug in the value

Volume = ⁴/3 × π × 8.5³

Volume = ⁴/3 × π × 614.125

Volume = 2572.44 in.³
