Question

Terry is filling spherical water balloons with a faucet that puts out 100cm^3 of water per second. At that rate, it takes Terry 6 seconds to fill a balloon.
What is the radius of a filled balloon?
Round to the nearest centimeter.

Answer 1

Answer:

To the nearest centimeter

Radius= 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of filling balloon= 100cm³/s

Time to feel the balloon= 6 s

Volume of the filed balloon

= Rate*time

= 100*6

= 600 cm³

Volume of balloon= 4/3πr³

Volume of balloon=600cm³

600= 4/3πr³

(600*3)/4π= r³

1800/4π= r³

450/π= r³

143.239 = r³

5.232= r

To the nearest centimeter

Radius= 5 cm
