The gift shop at a science museum sells lollipops that are made to look like the planets. Each lollipop is shaped like a sphere and has a radius of 12 mm.

Question

What is the volume of each lollipop?

Answer 1

The volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula V = (4/3)πr³, where r is the radius of the sphere.

Given that the radius of each lollipop is 12 mm, we can substitute this value into the formula:

V = (4/3)π(12 mm)³
V = (4/3)π(1728 mm³)
V ≈ 7238.23 mm³

Therefore, the volume of each lollipop is approximately 7238.23 cubic millimeters.
