Question

The radius of a soccer ball is 4 inches. Approximately what volume of air can it hold? Use 3.14 for pie
Round to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch.
Recall the formula Sphere V - 4/3 3.14(4)^3

Answer 1

Answer:

Rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch, 267.9 $in^{3}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is the amount of space inside the shape, or in this case, a sphere (the soccer ball). Given the formula for volume of a sphere, $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$ we just plug in the values given to us into this equation to get the volume of air the soccer ball can hold (in cubic inches).

$V=\frac{4}{3} *(3.14)*(4)^{3}$ which simplifies to equal approximately 267.9 $in^{3}$.
