Astronomers have uses different methods for estimating the size of planets. One estimate of Pluto is 2,274 kilometers. Based on that diameter, find the volume of Pluto assuming it is a sphere. Use 3.14 for pie. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The diameter of Pluto is given as 2274 kilometers.

The radius of Pluto will be half of he diameter.

Hence the radius of Pluto will be :
(2274)/(2)=1137

The formula of volume is :
(4)/(3) \pi r^3

Hence the volume is :
(4)/(3) \pi 1137^3

Hence the volume is : 6153890704.6 kilometers cube ..... Answer

Hope it will help :)
