Soloha48 [4]
The angles of the slices of pizza that she gave her brothers are all 40° because 1/2 of a pizza is 180° and 180/3 since she takes a third of it. She takes the 60° of the pizza half and that leaves you with a 120° piece. 120/3 for her three brothers is 40°.

the diameter D of a sphere is 13m calculate the sphere volume V use the value 3.14 round your answer to the nearest tenth
fgiga [73]

Answer:

1149.8 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a sphere is calculated as

V = \frac{4}{3}πr³ ( r is the radius )

Here diameter = 13, thus radius = 13 ÷ 2 = 6.5

V = \frac{4}{3} × 3.14 × 6.5³

   = \frac{4}{3} × 3.14 × 274.625

   = \frac{4(3.14)(274.625)}{3} ≈ 1149.8 m³ ( to the nearest tenth )
