Question

Baseballs and softballs com in different sizes for different leagues. If the diameter of a baseball is 3 inches and a softball is 3.8 inches, find the difference between the volumes of the two balls. Use 3.14 for pie

Answer 1

14.6 in^3 is correct.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Diameter of baseball is given as 3 inches.

Hence the radius of baseball will be :
`(3)/(2)=1.5`

Hence the volume of baseball is :
`(4)/(3)\pir^3`

Hence the volume of baseball is :
`(4)/(3)\pi1.5^3`

Hence the volume of baseball is : 14.13 inches cube

Now, diameter of softball is given as 3.8 inches.

Hence the radius of softball will be :
`(3.8)/(2)=1.9`

Hence the volume of baseball is :
`(4)/(3)\pir^3`

Hence the volume of baseball is :
`(4)/(3)\pi1.9^3`

Hence the volume of baseball is : 28.72 inches cube

Hence the difference of volumes will be:
`28.72-14.13`

Hence the difference of volumes will be 14.59 or 14.6 inches cube

So the answer is 14.6 inches cube. : Answer
