Q. What is the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 6.3in, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch?Answer: in3
Calculate Radius: To find the volume of a sphere, we use the formula V=34πr3, where r is the radius of the sphere. The radius is half of the diameter, so we first need to calculate the radius of the sphere with a diameter of 6.3 inches.Radius, r=2Diameter=26.3 in=3.15 in
Plug into Volume Formula: Now that we have the radius, we can plug it into the volume formula.V=34π(3.15in)3
Calculate Volume: Next, we calculate the volume using the radius value. V=(34)π(3.15 in)3=(34)π(31.00375 in3)
Simplify Expression: We simplify the expression by calculating the numerical value.V≈34×3.14159×31.00375in3≈129.847in3
Round to Nearest Tenth: Finally, we round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch. V≈129.8 in3 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
