Q. What is the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 24.7m, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter?Answer: m3
Identify formula: Identify the formula to calculate the volume of a sphere.The formula for the volume of a sphere is V=34πr3, where r is the radius of the sphere.
Calculate radius: Calculate the radius of the sphere.The diameter of the sphere is given as 24.7 meters. The radius is half of the diameter, so r=2diameter=224.7m=12.35m.
Substitute radius: Substitute the radius into the volume formula.V=34π(12.35m)3
Calculate volume: Calculate the volume using the radius value. V=(34)π(12.35m)3=(34)π(12.35m×12.35m×12.35m)
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the volume before rounding.V≈34π(1881.6225m3)≈34×3.14159×1881.6225m3≈4×3.14159×627.2075m3≈7853.9817m3
Round volume: Round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter. V≈7853.9817m3 rounded to the nearest tenth is 7854.0m3.
