Q. What is the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 34.5ft, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?Answer: ft3
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.
Convert Diameter to Radius: Convert the diameter to radius.Since the diameter is 34.5 feet, the radius r is half of the diameter. Therefore, r=234.5.
Calculate Radius: Calculate the radius. r=234.5 feet=17.25 feet.
Substitute Radius into Formula: Substitute the radius into the volume formula. V=34π(17.25)3
Calculate Volume Using Radius: Calculate the volume using the radius. V=34π(17.25)3≈34π(5136.875)
Evaluate Expression: Evaluate the expression to find the volume.V≈34π(5136.875)≈4π(1712.29166667)≈4π(1712.3) when rounded to the nearest tenth.
Calculate Approximate Volume: Calculate the approximate volume. V≈4π(1712.3)≈4×3.1416×1712.3≈21544.1 cubic feet when rounded to the nearest tenth.
