To find the volume of a spherical scoop of ice cream with a radius of 3 cm, we can use the formula for the volume of a sphere:
\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \]
Here, \( r \) is the radius of the sphere. Given \( r = 3 \) cm and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
-
Calculate \( r^3 \): \[ r^3 = 3^3 = 27 \text{ cm}^3 \]
-
Substitute \( r^3 \) into the volume formula: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 27 \]
-
First, calculate \( \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \): \[ \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \approx 4.1867 \]
-
Now multiply this by 27: \[ V \approx 4.1867 \times 27 \approx 113.04 \text{ cm}^3 \]
Finally, round the volume to the nearest whole number: \[ V \approx 113 \text{ cm}^3 \]
So, the volume of the spherical scoop of ice cream is approximately 113 cm³.
