(4/3)π r^3 = 4846.59
r^3 = ...
r = cuberoot(....) =

I have a different answer from yours.
v = 4/3 π r^3

r = cuberoot [(4846.59 * 3/4) / π]
Where did you get 4/3?? I'm confused
We both assumed you knew the formula for the volume of a sphere
= (4/3)π r^3
Oh, ok
I remember now
4846.59 cubic centimeters
So, r = cubic root [(4846.59 * 3/4) / π]
r ≈ 9.57 cm

Therefore, the approximate radius of a mini-basketball is 9.57 centimeters.
4846.59 cubic centimeters
Sorry for the confusion. Here's how we can solve it.

The formula for the volume of a sphere is given by:

V = (4/3)πr^3

We know that the volume of the mini-basketball is approximately 4846.59 cubic centimeters. So we can write:

4846.59 = (4/3)πr^3

Multiplying both sides by 3/4π, we get:

4846.59 * (3/4)π = r^3

Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:

r = (4846.59 * (3/4)π)^(1/3) ≈ 9.57

Therefore, the approximate radius of the mini-basketball is 9.57 centimeters.
