Question

A golf ball has a diameter of 1.68 inches. What is its volume? Use 3.14 for – and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.​

Answer 1

Volume of the ball = 2.48 inch³

Explanation:

A golf ball is in the shape of a sphere.

Therefore, volume of the ball will be given by,

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

Here, r = Radius of the ball

By substituting the value of 'r' in the formula,

Volume of the golf ball =
`(4)/(3)\pi (\frac{\text{Diameter}}{2})^(3)`

=
`(4)/(3)(3.14) (\frac{\text{1.68}}{2})^(3)`

=
`(4)/(3)(3.14) (0.84)^(3)`

= 2.482 inch³

≈ 2.48 inch³
