Question

If the sphere shown above has a radius of 6 units, then what is the approximate volume of the sphere? (Use 3.14 for .)

Answer 1

The approximate volume of the sphere is 904.32 cubit units

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere

Given a sphere of radius r, its volume is calculated by:

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

The radius of the sphere is r=6 units, thus the volume of the sphere is:

`\displaystyle V=(4)/(3)\pi 6^3`

π≈3.14

`\displaystyle V=(4)/(3)\cdot 3.14\cdot 6^3`

`\displaystyle V=(4)/(3)\cdot 3.14\cdot 216`

V = 904.32 cubit units

The approximate volume of the sphere is 904.32 cubit units
