Question

A spherical fish bowl is half-filled with water. The center of the bowl is C and the length of segment AB is 16 inches as shown below . Which of the following can be used to calculate the volume of water inside the fish bowl

Answer 1

Segment AB is a diameter of the sphere.

diameter = AB = 16 in.

radius = r = (16 in.)/2 = 8 in.

Volume of a sphere:

V = (4/3) * pi * r^3

V = (4/3) * (22/7) * (8 in.)^3

The water inside the bowl occupies half of the bowl, so the volume of the water is half the volume of the bowl.

Volume of water:

V = (1/2)(4/3)(22/7)(8^3) in.^3

Answer: Second choice.

Answer 2

I think that it’s the second one
