Answer:
clay sphere gives more clay for less money
Explanation:
Volume of cone=1/3πr^2h
=1/3*3.14*(9^2)*12
=1/3*3.14*81*12
=3,052.08/3
=1017.36 inches^3
Volume of a cyclinder=πr^2h
=3.14*(9^2)*12
=3.14*81*12
=3,052.08 inches^3
Volume of a sphere=4/3πr^3
=4/3*3.14*(9^3)
=4/3*3.14*(9^3)
=4/3*3.14*729
=9,156.24 / 3
=3,052.08 inches^3
Clay cone=$12
Clay cyclinder=$30
Clay sphere=$28
Which is the best to buy
Comparing volume
Volume of sphere=3,052.08 inches^3
Volume of cyclinder=3,052.08 inches^3
Volume of cone=1017.36 inches^3
Sphere and cyclinder both have the same volume which is 3 times more than volume of a cone
Clay sphere cost $28 which is cheaper than clay cyclinder at the same volume.
Therefore, clay sphere gives more clay for less money
