Answer 1

Answer:

24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by

V = 4/3 pi r^3

2304 pi = 4/3 pi r^3

Divide each side by pi

2304 = 4/3 r^3

Multiply each side 3/4

2304 * 3/4 = 4/3 r^3 * 3/4

1728 = r^3

Take the cube root of each side

1728 ^ 1/3 = r^3 ^ 1/3

12 = r

We want the diameter

d = 2*r

d = 2*12

d = 24

Answer 2

Answer:

24 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

A basketball is a sphere. The volume of a sphere can be found using the following formula:

V= 4/3 π r^3

We know that the volume is 2304 π cm^3, therefore we can substitute 2304π in for V.

2304π = 4/3 π r^3

We want to find out what r is. Therefore, we must get r by itself. First, divide both sides by pi.

2304π/π=4/3πr^3/π

2304π/π=4/3r^3

2304=4/3r^3

Next, divide both sides by 4/3, or multiply by the reciprocal of 4/3. The reciprocal of 4/3 is 3/4 (flip the numerator and denominator).

2304*3/4=4/3r^3*3/4

2304*3/4=r^3

1728=r^3

Now, take the cube root of both sides.

∛1728=∛r^3

∛1728=r

12=r

r= 12 cm

The radius is 12 centimeters, but the question asks us to find the diameter. The diameter is twice the radius.

d= 2r

d= 2* 12 cm

d= 24 cm

The diameter of the basketball is 24 centimeters.
