Question
the smallest regulation golf ball has a volume of 2.48 cubic inches. if the diameter of the ball were increased by 10%, or a factor of 1.1, what will the volume of the golf ball be?

Damon
(4/3) pi R^3
(4/3) pi (1.1 R)^3
so
ratio = 1.1 ^3 = 1.331
1.331 * 2.48 = 3.3 in^3
(4/3) pi (1.1 R)^3
so
ratio = 1.1 ^3 = 1.331
1.331 * 2.48 = 3.3 in^3
