Question

A sphere with a radius of 3.5 feet. Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answer 1

Solution:

$\begin{gathered} The\text{ volume of a sphere can be calculated with the formula } \\ V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\text{ where r=radius} \end{gathered}$

For this question, r = 3.5ft

$\begin{gathered} Thus,\text{ } \\ V=\frac{4}{3}\text{ x 3.14 x \lparen3.5\rparen}^3 \\ V=179.5033333\text{ ft}^3 \\ \\ The\text{ answer is 179.503 ft}^3\text{ \lparen nearest thousandth\rparen} \end{gathered}$
