Question

For spring break this year your family decided to visit Michigan, but it snows the first weekend you are there. You decide to make a snowman. If the bottom ball is 3 feet across, the middle ball is 2 feet across, and the top is 1 foot across, how much snow is needed to build the whole snowman? Round your answer to the nearest cubic foot.
A) 19 cubic feet of snow
B) 31 cubic feet of snow
C) 511 cubic feet of snow
D) 824 cubic feet of snow

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to this question is A) 19 cubic feet of snow

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, use the equation V = 4/3 (π r^3) to get the volume of each. Then add all the volumes together: (1ft x3.14) + (2ft x3.14) + (3ft x3.14). You will get 19 cubic feet of snow. This is how much snow is needed to build the whole snowman.
