Question

Adult size basketballs have a radius of approximately 12 cm.

Calculate the volume of air needed to fill the basketball to the nearest whole
number
Include the proper units.​

Answer 1

The volume of air needed is 603 cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, basketball has a size of a sphere, so you have to find the volume of sphere using the formula :

`v = (4)/(3) \pi {r}^(2)`

`let \: r = 12`

`v = (4)/(3) * \pi * {12}^(2)`

`v = (4)/(3) * \pi * 144`

`v = 192\pi`

`v = 603 \: {cm}^(3) (near. \: whole \: no)`
