Question

A bowling ball has a volume of 267.947 cubic inches. What is the radius of the bowling ball? I would really appreciate someone’s help :))

Answer 1

The famous formula for the volume of a sphere is

V = (4/3)π r³

where r is of course the radius of the sphere. Solving for r,

r³ = V / ((4/3)π)

r = ∛( V / ((4/3)π) )

r = ∛( 267.947 / ((4/3)(3.14159))) = 3.99932

Answer: 4.00 (to two decimal places)
