Answer:

its 6

Explanation:

A soccer ball is in the form of a Sphere.

Volume of a Sphere: V = (4/3)πr3

In this case, V = 288π cm3. So:

1) Substitute the known value into the equation: 288π = (4/3)πr3

2) Notice the π value is on either side of the equation. It cancels: 288 = (4/3)r3

3) Simplifying: r3 = 216

4) Solving for r yeilds : r = 6 cm

The radius (r) of a soccer ball with a volume of 288 cm3 is 6 cm
