Question

If you want to turn a ball into a giant water balloon, how many cubic feet of lake water can you fill it with if the radius of this balloon is 1.5 feet?

Answer 1

Answer:

14.13 cubic feet of lake water can fill the given balloon.

Step-by-step explanation:

concept used:

volume of sphere = 4/3 $\pi r^3$

where r is the radius of sphere

we take $\pi$ = 3.14

_____________________________________

shape of balloon can be taken as spherical.

Amount water filled in the balloon will be equal to capacity of balloon which is equal to volume of spherical balloon.

Given radius of balloon = 1.5 feet

Thus, volume of balloon = 4/3 $\pi$ 1.5^3 = 4/3*3.14*1.5^3

volume of balloon = 42.39/3 = 14.13 cubic feet

Thus, 14.13 cubic feet of lake water can fill the given balloon.
