How much larger is the calculation of the volume of a sphere’s whose radius is 39 inches if pi is used instead of 3.14? Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Using pi as 3.14, the volume of the sphere would be calculated as:

V = (4/3) * pi * r^3
V = (4/3) * 3.14 * 39^3
V ≈ 75843.8 cubic inches

Using pi as 3.14159, the volume would be calculated as:

V = (4/3) * pi * r^3
V = (4/3) * 3.14159 * 39^3
V ≈ 76307.2 cubic inches

The difference in volume would be:

76307.2 - 75843.8 = 463.4 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume calculated using pi as 3.14159 would be approximately 463.4 cubic inches larger than if pi was used as 3.14.
