Question

A spherical boulder is 18 ft in diameter and weighs almost 8 tons. Find the volume. Use 3.14 for piπ.

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume, $V=3052.08\ ft^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of spherical boulder is 18 ft

Weight of spherical boulder is 8 tons.

We need to find the volume of spherical boulder. The formula of the volume of sphere is given by :

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

r is radius of spherical boulder, r = 9 ft

Substituting all values in above formula :

$V=\dfrac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (9)^3\\\\V=3052.08\ ft^3$

The volume of spherical boulder is $3052.08\ ft^3$.
