Q. What is the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 55.6m, 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 55.6 meters. The radius is half of the diameter, so r=2diameter=255.6m=27.8m.
Substitute into Formula: Substitute the radius into the volume formula. V=(34)π(27.8m)3
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume using the radius value. V=(34)π(27.8m)3=(34)π(27.8m×27.8m×27.8m)=(34)π(21483.92m3)
Evaluate Expression: Evaluate the expression to find the volume.V=34π(21483.92m3)≈34×3.14159×21483.92m3≈35804.8m3
Round Volume: Round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter. The volume of the sphere is approximately 35804.8m3, which is already rounded to the nearest tenth.
