Question

A spherical Boulder is 12 ft in diameter and waighs almost 6 tons. Find the volume. Use 3.14 for pie.

Answer 1

Volume,
`V=904.32\ \text{feet}^3`

Explanation:

We have, a spherical Boulder having a diameter of 12 feet. Its weight is almost 6 tons.

The volume of a spherical shaped object is given by :

`V=(4)/(3)\pi r^3`

r is radius of spherical Boulder , r = 6 ft

Plugging all the values, such that :

`V=(4)/(3)* 3.14* (6)^3\\\\V=904.32\ \text{feet}^3`

So, the volume of a spherical Boulder is
`904.32\ \text{feet}^3`.
