What is the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 32.5 m, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter (m³)?


\dashrightarrow\large\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}

We are asked to find the volume of a sphere, which we can find using the following formula:-


\bold{V=(4)/(3) \pi r^3}

Where:-

  • V=volume
  • π=pi (3.14…)
  • r=radius

Provided information:-

  • diameter (d)=32.5 m

What we need in order to find the volume:-

  • radius

What we need in order to find the radius:-

  • Since the radius is exactly one-half of the diameter, we divide the diameter by 2 in order to find the radius:-


\bold{r=d/2}

Replace d with 32.5:-


\bold{r=32.5/2}

Therefore, the sphere's radius is as follows:-


\bold{r=16.25} m


\rule{300}{1}

Now, let's find the sphere's volume, which, as I mentioned earlier, can be found with the help of this formula:-


\bold{V=(4)/(3) \pi r^3}

Replace r with 16.25:-


\bold{V=(4)/(3) \pi (4291)} Next, we replace π with 3.14:-


\bold{V=(4)/(3) *3.14*4291}

On simplification,


\bold{V=(4)/(3) *13,473.74}

On further simplification,


\bold{V=17,964.9\:m^3}\Longleftarrow\sf{volume\:of\:the\:sphere}

Good luck with your studies.

Answer:

17,964.9 cubic meters

Explanation:

Hey there!

The formula for finding the area of a sphere is:


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

Where V is volume, and r is radius

The question already tells us that the diameter is 32.5m

*Remember, the diameter isn't the radius. It is the radius times two*

Now, we have to divide 32.5 by 2 to get the radius

32.5/2 is 16.25

Now we can plug this into the formula

16.25 cubed is 4291 after being rounded to the nearest tenth

Now we multiply 4291 by 3.14 (pi)

4291 x 3.14 is 13473.7 after being rounded to the nearest tenth

Now multiply 13473.7 by 4/3 and then you will get the volume to the sphere

13473.7 x 4/3 is 17964.93333333...

Since it is asking us to round to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter;

The volume of the sphere will be 17,964.9 cubic meters
