Question

The volume of a volleyball is about 288 cubic inches. what is the radius of the volleyball, to the nearest tenth of an inch? use 3.14 for π.
$r = \sqrt{ \frac{3v}{4\pi} }$
​

Answer 1

Answer: 4.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The radius of the volleyball is 8.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$r = \sqrt{\frac{3v}{4\pi}}$

$v = 288$

Required

Determine the value of r

To do this, we simply substitute 288 for v and 3.14 for π in the given equation.

This gives

$r = \sqrt{\frac{3v}{4\pi}}$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{3 * 288}{4 * 3.14}}$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{864}{12.56}}$

$r = \sqrt{68.7898089172}$

$r = 8.29396219651$

$r = 8.3\ inch$ (Approximated)

Hence;

The radius of the volleyball is 8.3 inches
