Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter A. 904.32 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

radius = 6 in

Volume = ?

π = 3.1416

Formula

Volume = 4/3 πr³

-Substitution

Volume = 4/3 (3.1416)(6)³

-Simplification

Volume = 4/3 (3.1416)(216)

Volume = 2714.342 / 3

-Result

Volume = 904.7 in³

The closest answer to my result is A.904.3 in³

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the part where you said "4/3 (3.1416)(216)" you are suppose to actually multiply 4/3(3.14)(216) Not "3.1416". Because when you multiply "4/3(3.14)(216)" you get 904.32 which is rounded to 904.3.
