Question

A student bought a piece of hard candy that is in the shape of a sphere. The candy has a radius of 3 centimeters.

​Which of the following is closest to the volume of the piece of candy?
​ (Use 3.14 for π.)

Answer 1

Volume of piece candy is 113.04 cubic centimeter

Solution:

A student bought a piece of hard candy that is in the shape of a sphere

The candy has a radius of 3 centimeters

Radius = 3 cm

Use 3.14 for π

Volume of sphere is given as:

`V = (4)/(3) * \pi * r^3`

Where, "r" is the radius of sphere

Therefore, volume of candy is given as:

`V = (4)/(3) * 3.14 * 3^3\\\\V = 4 * 3.14 * 3^2\\\\V = 12.56 * 9\\\\V = 113.04`

Thus volume of candy is 113.04 cubic centimeter
