Q. What is the diameter of a sphere with a volume of 54147ft3, to the nearest tenth of a foot?Answer: ft
Recall Sphere Volume Formula: Recall the formula for the volume of a sphere.The formula for the volume V of a sphere in terms of its radius r is V=34πr3.
Set Up Equation: Set up the equation to solve for the radius.We have the volume of the sphere, so we can set up the equation 54147=(34)πr3.
Solve for Radius: Solve for the radius r. To isolate r3, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (4/3)π. r3=(34π)54147
Calculate r3: Calculate the value of r3.r3=(34)π54147≈4.1887954147≈12924.3
Cube Root for r: Take the cube root of both sides to solve for r.r≈312924.3≈23.4 feet
Recall Diameter Formula: Recall that the diameter d is twice the radius.d=2r
Calculate Diameter: Calculate the diameter. d=2×23.4≈46.8 feet
