The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3) * pi * r^3, where r is the radius of the sphere.

Since the diameter of the basketball is given as 9.2 inches, the radius would be half of the diameter, which is 9.2 / 2 = 4.6 inches.

Using the formula, the volume of the basketball would be:
V = (4/3) * 3.14 * (4.6)^3
V ≈ 4.19 * 3.14 * 97.336
V ≈ 405.39204

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the volume of the basketball is approximately 405.39 inches.

Thus, the correct answer is 405.39 inches.

turn the volume of a sphere with the radius of 1.8 yd leave your answer in terms of Pi round your answer to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
7.78 pi yds
7.2 pi yds
24.43 pi yds
23.34 pi yds
The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3) * π * r^3.

Substituting the given radius of 1.8 yd into the formula:

V = (4/3) * π * (1.8)^3
V = (4/3) * π * 5.832

Simplifying further:

V ≈ 7.776π

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the volume of the sphere with a radius of 1.8 yd is approximately 7.78π yds.

Thus, the closest answer option provided is 7.78 pi yds.
how much air is needed to fill a basketball with the diameter of 9 inches is 3.14 as an approximation for pi. round your answer to the nearest tenth

190.8 inches
113 in
3,52.1 inches
381.5 inches
The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3) * π * r^3, where r is the radius of the sphere.

Since the diameter of the basketball is given as 9 inches, the radius would be half of the diameter, which is 9 / 2 = 4.5 inches.

Using the formula, the volume of the basketball would be:
V = (4/3) * 3.14 * (4.5)^3
V ≈ 4.18 * 3.14 * 91.125
V ≈ 1207.78

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the volume of the basketball is approximately 1207.8 cubic inches.

Therefore, the closest answer option is 113 in.
