Question

The volume of a sphere is 2,240 yd^3. What will be the new volume in the dimensions are multiplied by 1/4?

Answer 1

34.98yd^3

Explanation:

Volume of a sphere V=4/3πr3

Where V = 2240yd^3

π = 3.14

2240 = 4/3×3.14×r^3

2240 = 4.1866r^3

r^3 = 2240/4.1866

r^3 = 534.784

r = ( 534.784 )^1/3

r = 8.1169

Since each dimension is to be multiplied by 1/4

Hence, 1/4×8.1169

r = 2.029.

New volume will be

V = 4/3×3.14×2.029^3

V = 4/3×3.14×8.3558

V = 34.98yd^3.
