Answer 1

Answer:

≈ 1.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• Sphere A = 30 cubic inches
• Sphere B = 10 cubic inches

As we know, the formula to find the volume of a sphere is;

V = π$\frac{4}{3} r^{3}$

So we have:

• Sphere A = 30 cubic inches

<=> π$\frac{4}{3} r^{3}$  = 30

<=>$r^{3}$  = 90/4π

<=> r ≈ 4.13

• Sphere B = 10 cubic inches

<=> π$\frac{4}{3} r^{3}$  = 10

<=> $r^{3}$ = 30/4π  

<=>  r ≈ 2.86

So the  different between the radius of sphere A and B is:

= 4.13 - 2.86

= 1.27

≈ 1.3 inches
