Question

The diameter of a beach ball is 10 inches. How many cubic inches of air can the beach ball hold? Use 3.14 for pi. Round to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch

Recall the formula Sphere V = 5

Answer 1

523.33

Explanation:

Answer 2

The beach ball can hold 523.33 cubic inches of air

Explanation:

Diameter of beach ball = 10 inches

Radius of beach ball =
`(10)/(2)= 5 inches`

We are supposed to find How many cubic inches of air can the beach ball hold

Volume of sphere =
`(4)/(3) \pi r^3`

Where r is the radius

So, volume of sphere =
`(4)/(3) * 3.14 * 5^3=523.333 in^3`

Hence The beach ball can hold 523.33 cubic inches of air
