Blanca has a water globe that is a sphere with a diameter of 11 centimeters.

Which measurement is closest to the volume of the water globe?

1 answer

The volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula V = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius of the sphere.

Since the diameter of the water globe is 11 centimeters, the radius would be half of the diameter, which is 5.5 centimeters.

Plugging the radius into the formula, we get:
V = (4/3)π(5.5)^3
V = (4/3)π * 166.375
V ≈ 698.57 cubic centimeters

Therefore, the volume of the water globe is closest to 698.57 cubic centimeters.
