Question

The radius of a baseball is about 9.25 inches. The radius of the Basketball is 9.55 inches. What is the

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 333.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the basketball and baseball has got the shape of a sphere. So that;

volume of a sphere = $\frac{4}{3}$$\pi$$r^{3}$

where r is the radius

i. Volume of the baseball = $\frac{4}{3}$$\pi$$r^{3}$

                           =  $\frac{4}{3}$ x $\frac{22}{7}$ x $(9.25)^{3}$

                           = 3315.5655

volume of the baseball = 3316.57 cube inches

ii. Volume of the basketball =  $\frac{4}{3}$$\pi$$r^{3}$

                            = $\frac{4}{3}$ x $\frac{22}{7}$ x $(9.55)^{3}$

                            = 3649.8372

Volume of the basketball = 3649.84 cube inches

The required difference = volume of basketball - volume of baseball

                                  = 3649.84 - 3316.57

                                  = 333.27 cube inches

The difference of the volumes of the basketball and baseball is 333.27 cube inches.
