Goal: Calculate the volume of a Basketball as accurately as possible. Objective 1: Calculate the volume of a basketball.
Step One: Find the radius of the basket ball inflated at 8 PSI. To do this we used a string to measure the circumference of the basket ball arriving at a measurement of 29 inches. Next we inserted that number into the formula C = 2πR where C= circumference and R= Radius. We found that where C= 29inches, R= 4.615 inches.
Solve with Volume of a ball or sphere = 4/3*pi*radius
