The volume of a sphere is given by the formula V = (4/3)πr^3.
For the bottom snowball with radius 3 ft, the volume = (4/3)π(3^3) = 36π ft^3.
For the middle snowball with radius 2 ft, the volume = (4/3)π(2^3) = 32π ft^3.
For the top snowball with radius 1 ft, the volume = (4/3)π(1^3) = 4π ft^3.
Therefore, the total volume of the snowman = 36π + 32π + 4π = 72π ft^3.
So the closest answer is 48π 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?
