The diameter of this beach ball is 12 inches.

Apply the formula for the volume of a sphere to determine how much air it can hold.

Use the calculator to multiply by π.

Round to the nearest hundredth.

Formula:Sphere V = 4 3 πr3

How much air can the beach ball hold?

Respuesta :

volume of a sphere

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 [/tex]


Just plugin the numbers you have. For instance, r = radius. We know that the radius is 1/2 of the diameter. Our diameter is 12 so 12 / 2 = 6. With that said, add 6 to where the r is located in the formula and solve the formula.

Solve for V
[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}\pi 6^3 [/tex]

To solve for V we have to do the following.

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}\times \pi \times 6^3 [/tex]

The formula above reads V(Volume of air) equals 4 divided by 3 times pi times 6 to the power of 3

The air the beach ball can hold is  905.14 in³.

What is the volume of a sphere?

A sphere is a  three dimensional solid, that has all its surface points at equal distances from the center.

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 x pi x r^3

4/3 x (12 / 2)^3 x 22/7 = 905.14 in³
