Answer:

17.65693585 = r

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by

V = 4/3 pi r^3

23047 = 4/3 (3.14) r^3

23047 = 4.1866666666 r^3

Divide by 4.186666 on each side

23047/4.18666666 = 4.1866666666/4.18666666 *r^3

5504.856688 = r^3

Take the cubed root on each side

(5504.856688)^1/3 = r^3^(1/3)

17.65693585 = r
