A toy ball can be modeled as a sphere. Alejandro measures its radius as 4.9 cm. Find the ball’s volume in cubic centimeters. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

1 answer

To find the volume of a sphere, you can use the formula:

V = (4/3)πr^3

where r is the radius of the sphere.

Given that the radius of the ball is 4.9 cm, we can plug this value into the formula:

V = (4/3)π(4.9)^3
V = (4/3)π(117.649)
V ≈ 494.57 cm^3

Therefore, the ball’s volume is approximately 494.6 cubic centimeters.
