Question

I need some help finding the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 18.6cm. The website says the answer I got from my calculator was wrong! Help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

V = 3,367.6 cm³

Explanation:

Diameter of sphere (D) = 18.6 cm

radius (r) = ½(18.6) = 9.3

π = 3.14

Formula for volume of a sphere = ⁴/3πr³

Plug in the values

V = ⁴/3 × 3.14 × 9.3³

V = ⁴/3 × 3.14 × 804.357

V = (4*3.14*804.357)/3

V = 3,367.57463

V = 3,367.6 cm³ (nearest tenth)
