Answer:

523.3 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A basketball has a diameter of 10 in. Using = 3.14, what is the approximate volume of the basketball in cubic inches?

The shape of a basketball is spherical.

Hence:

The volume of a basketball = 4/3 × π × r³

From the question,

π = 3.14

r = radius = Diameter/2

r = 10 in/2 = 5 in

Hence:

The volume of the basketball

= 4/3 × 3.14 × 5³

= 1570 ÷ 3

= 523.33333333 cubic inches

Therefore, the approximate volume of the basketball = 523.3 cubic inches

Write and evaluate an expression for the area of a circular pizza.

Annette [7]

Area is the PRODUCT (multiply!) of the SQUARE of the radius and pi.

$A=\pi r^2$

In the diagram, the radius of the pizza is 7 in., so use r = 7.

$A = (3.14)(7^2) = (3.14)(49) = 153.86$ square inches.
