The diameter of the plate is 9.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the radius to be 'r'

Angle = 120°

Chord length = 8 inches

Chord length = 2rsin(θ/2)

8 = 2r sin(120/2)

8 = 2r sin60°

8/2 = r (√3/2)

4/(√3/2) = r

r = 8/√3

r = 8/1.73

r = 4.62 inches

Diameter of the plate = 2(4.62)

= 9.24 inches

The diameter of the plate is 9.24 inches

PLEASE HELP If you can i'd really appreciate it!!!
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The volume is 22.44 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is  

We know the diameter, but we can easily convert this into the radius by dividing it by 2, since the diameter is twice as long as the radius.

3.5/2 = 1.75

Now we can find the volume.

So, the average volume of a clementine is 22.46 cubic inches

The closest option you have is 22.44 so if you round it that should be your answer.
