Question

When purchased, a beach ball is deflated and packaged flat. The package states that when inflated to its maximum capacity, the radius of the inflated ball is 6.3 inches. To the nearest hundredth of a cubic inch, how much air will occupy the space contained by the inflated beach ball? Use 3.14 for . In your final answer, include all of your calculations.(PLEASE INCLUDE ALL CALCULATIONS)

Answer 1

volume for a sphere (ball) is 4/3 x PI x r^3

r = 6.3, r^3 = 6.3^3 = 250.047

volume = 4/3 x 3.14 x 250.047 = 1046.863

rounded to nearest hundredth = 1046.86 cubic inches
