To calculate the volume of a sphere, you use the formula V = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius.
The volume of the bottom snowball = (4/3)π*(3^3) = 36π ft^3
The volume of the middle snowball = (4/3)π*(2^3) = 32π ft^3
The volume of the top snowball = (4/3)π*(1^3) = 4π ft^3
Total volume of the snowman = 36π + 32π + 4π = 72π + 32π = 104π ft^3
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed in the options provided. The total volume of the snowman is 104π ft^3.
Carlos has built a snowman consisting solely of 3 spherical snowballs.
The bottom snowball has a radius of 3 ft, the middle snowball has a radius of 2 ft, and the top snowball has a radius of 1 ft.
What is the total volume of the snowman?
