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 9.2 inches, the radius would be half of that, which is 4.6 inches.
Plug in the values into the formula:
V = (4/3) * 3.14 * (4.6)^3
V = (4/3) * 3.14 * 97.336
V = 410.16608
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the volume of the basketball is 410.17 in^3.
Therefore, the closest answer option is 407.51 in^3.
Use the formula for the volume of a sphere to find the volume of a basketball that has a diameter of 9.2 inches. Use 3.14 as an approximation for pi and round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.(1 point) Responses
