Carlos went to PetSmart to get his hamster an exercise ball. There was a small one with a 5 inch diameter and a 13 inch ball. How much more space (volume) is in the larger than the smaller? Round to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

Answer:

150.8 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the 5 inch ball is

[tex]\frac{4}{3}\pi (5/2)^{3}[/tex]

The volume of the 13 inch ball is

[tex]\frac{4}{3}\pi (13/2)^{3}[/tex]

Subtracting these volumes, we get about 150.8 in³.

The amount of space (volume) that is in the larger spherical ball than the smaller will be 1,084.8 in.³

What is the Volume of a Spherical Solid?

To find the volume of a sphere, which is the amount of space the solid contains, the formula used is given as: 4/3 πr³,

where r is the radius of the sphere, which is half the measure of the diameter.

Diameter of the smaller spherical ball = 5 inches

Radius = 5/2 = 2.5 inches

Volume of the smaller spherical ball = 4/3 πr³ = 4/3 × π × 2.5³

Volume ≈ 65.5 in.³

Diameter of the larger spherical ball = 13 inches

Radius = 13/2 = 6.5 inches

Volume of the larger spherical ball = 4/3 πr³ = 4/3 × π × 6.5³

Volume of the larger spherical ball ≈ 1,150.3 in.³

The amount of space (volume) that is in the larger spherical ball than the smaller.

= 1,150.3  - 65.5

The amount of space (volume) that is in the larger spherical ball than the smaller will be 1,084.8 in.³
