Q. What is the volume of a sphere with a radius of 45.3ft, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot?Answer: ft3
Formula for Volume: To find the volume of a sphere, we use the formula V=34πr3, where V is the volume and r is the radius of the sphere.
Cube the Radius: First, we need to cube the radius. The radius is 45.3 feet, so we calculate 45.33. 45.33=45.3×45.3×45.3≈92610.297 cubic feet.
Calculate Volume: Next, we multiply the cubed radius by (4/3)π to get the volume.V=(34)π×92610.297≈123204.396×π cubic feet.
Multiply by π: Now we need to multiply by π to get the final volume.123204.396×π≈387,298.6 cubic feet when rounded to the nearest tenth.
Round to Nearest Tenth: Finally, we round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot as asked in the question prompt.The volume of the sphere is approximately 387,298.6 cubic feet when rounded to the nearest tenth.
