Question

.If a golf ball has a diameter of 4.3 centimeters and a tennis ball has a diameter of 6.9 centimeters. Find the difference between the volumes of the two balls.

Answer 1

Answer:

130.43 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference between the volumes of the balls, we must first find the volumes of the balls. To find the volume of each ball, we must first determine their shape. We understand that both balls are spherical.

The volume V of a sphere wit radius r is given as

V = 4/3 πr³

where r is the result when the diameter of the sphere is divided by 2.

Hence the radius of the Golf ball

= 4.3cm/2

= 2.15cm

radius of the tennis ball

= 6.9cm/2

= 3.45cm

The difference between the volumes of the two balls

= 4/3 π (3.45³ - 2.15³)

= 130.43 cm³
