Answer 2

Answer:

Radius, r = 3.8 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

A roll of gift-wrapping paper can cover 232.2 sq. in. Jimmy wants to wrap a soccer ball that he is giving as a gift.

We need to find the maximum radius of the ball that Jimmy can wrap. The volume of a spherical shaped object is given by :

$V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

r = radius of the ball

$r=(\dfrac{3V}{4\pi})^{1/3}\\\\r=(\dfrac{3\times 232.2}{4\times 3.14})^{1/3}\\\\r=3.8\ \text{inch}$

So, the maximum radius of the ball that Jimmy can wrap is 3.8 inches. Hence, this is the required solution.
