Solution:


r = (3 (v)/(4\pi) {)}^{ (1)/(3) }


r = (3 * (905)/(4 * \pi) {)}^{ ^{ (1)/(3) } }


r = 6.00049 \: cm


r = 6 \: cm

Hence, the radius of the beach ball is 6 centimeters.

given:


v = 905 \: {cm}^(3)

to find:

the radius of the given ball (sphere).

solution:


r = \sqrt[3]{ (3v)/(4\pi) }


r = \sqrt[3]{ (3 * 905)/(4\pi) }


r = 6 \: cm

therefore, the radius of the ball is 6 cm.

note: refer to the picture I added on how you can change r as the subject of the formula.
