Question

What is the volume in liters of the basketball?

Answer 1

he basket ball diameter used by NBA men players is around 9.55 inches

So diameter = 9.55 inch = 0.243 m

So radius of basket ball = 0.1215 m

Volume , $V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

$V = \frac{4}{3}* \pi *0.1215^3=0.0075 m^3=7.5 L$

So volume of basket ball used by men NBA players = 7.5 L

   

Answer 2

Answer:

7.31 L

Explanation:

A standard NBA basketball has a radius (r) of about 4.74 in. If we consider it to be an almost perfect sphere, its volume (V) is:

V = 4/3 × π × r³ = 4/3 × π × (4.74 in)³ = 446 in³

We know that 1 liter is equal to 61.02 in³. The volume, in liters, corresponding to 446 in³ is:

446 in³ × (1 L/ 61.02 in³) = 7.31 L

The volume of a basketball is about 7.31 L.
