Question

Item 9 a softball has a volume of 1256π1256π cubic inches. find the radius of the softball.

Answer 1

$\boxed{\boxed{\text{Volume = } \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3}}$

Given that volume = 1256π, find radius:

$1256 \pi = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

$r^3 = 1256 \pi \div\dfrac{4}{3} \pi$

$r^3 = 942$

$r= \sqrt[3]{942}$

$r = 9.8 \text{ inches (nearest hundredth)}$

Answer: The radius is 9.8 inches.
