Answer 1

To find the volume of a basketball, we use the formula for the volume of a sphere, which is:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \]

First, we need to find the radius of the basketball. The diameter is 9.2 inches, so the radius \( r \) is half of that:

\[ r = \frac{9.2}{2} = 4.6 \text{ inches} \]

Now, we can substitute the radius into the volume formula using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (4.6)^3 \]

Next, we calculate \( (4.6)^3 \):

\[ (4.6)^3 = 4.6 \times 4.6 \times 4.6 = 97.336 \text{ cubic inches} \]

Now, substituting \( (4.6)^3 \) back into the volume formula:

\[ V \approx \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 97.336 \]

Calculating this step-by-step:

1. Calculate \( \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \):

\[ \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \approx 4.18667 \]

2. Multiply by \( 97.336 \):

\[ V \approx 4.18667 \times 97.336 \approx 407.51 \text{ cubic inches} \]

Rounding this to the nearest hundredth gives:

\[ \text{Volume} \approx 407.51 \text{ in}^3 \]

Thus, the correct response is:

407.51 in.³

Answer 3

To find the volume of a sphere in terms of \(\pi\), we use the volume formula:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \]

Given that the radius \(r\) is 1.8 yards, we first calculate \(r^3\):

\[ r^3 = (1.8)^3 = 1.8 \times 1.8 \times 1.8 \]

Calculating step by step:

1. First, calculate \(1.8 \times 1.8\):

\[ 1.8 \times 1.8 = 3.24 \]

2. Now, multiply this by \(1.8\):

\[ 3.24 \times 1.8 = 5.832 \]

So, \(r^3 = 5.832\).

Now, substitute \(r^3\) back into the volume formula:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (5.832) \]

Calculating \( \frac{4}{3} \times 5.832\):

\[ V = \frac{4 \times 5.832}{3} = \frac{23.328}{3} = 7.776 \]

Thus, the volume in terms of \(\pi\) is:

\[ V \approx 7.776\pi , \text{yds}^3 \]

Rounding \(7.776\) to the nearest hundredth gives \(7.78\).

Therefore, the final answer is:

7.78π yds³

Answer 5

To find the volume of a basketball with a diameter of 9 inches, we can use the formula for the volume of a sphere:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \]

First, we need to find the radius. The radius \( r \) is half of the diameter:

\[ r = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 \text{ inches} \]

Next, we will substitute this radius into the volume formula using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (4.5)^3 \]

Now, we need to calculate \( (4.5)^3 \):

\[ (4.5)^3 = 4.5 \times 4.5 \times 4.5 \]

Calculating step-by-step:

1. First, calculate \( 4.5 \times 4.5 \):

\[ 4.5 \times 4.5 = 20.25 \]

2. Now multiply this result by \( 4.5 \):

\[ 20.25 \times 4.5 = 91.125 \]

Now that we have \( (4.5)^3 = 91.125 \), we can plug this back into the volume formula:

\[ V \approx \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 91.125 \]

Calculating \( \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \):

\[ \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 = \frac{12.56}{3} \approx 4.18667 \]

Now multiply this result by \( 91.125 \):

\[ V \approx 4.18667 \times 91.125 \approx 381.5 \text{ in}^3 \]

Thus, rounding to the nearest tenth if necessary, we find:

\[ V \approx 381.5 \text{ in}^3 \]

Therefore, the answer is:

381.5 in³

Answer 6

The volume of a container measures 4,000 mm3

2,325.3 mm3

Answer 7

First, we need to calculate the volume of a single marble and then find the total volume of all 50 marbles, after which we can determine the unused space in the container.

Step 1: Calculate the volume of a single marble

The formula for the volume \( V \) of a sphere is:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \]

Given that the radius \( r \) of each marble is 2 mm, we can substitute this value into the formula using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (2)^3 \]

Calculating \( (2)^3 \):

\[ (2)^3 = 8 \]

Now substitute that back in:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 8 \]

Calculating the volume of one marble:

\[ V = \frac{4 \times 3.14 \times 8}{3} = \frac{100.48}{3} \approx 33.49 \text{ mm}^3 \]

Step 2: Calculate the total volume of 50 marbles

Now, we find the total volume of 50 marbles:

\[ \text{Total volume of marbles} = 50 \times 33.49 \approx 1,674.5 \text{ mm}^3 \]

Step 3: Calculate the unused space in the container

The container's volume is given as 4,000 mm³. Therefore, the unused space is:

\[ \text{Unused space} = \text{Volume of container} - \text{Total volume of marbles} \]

Substituting the known values:

\[ \text{Unused space} = 4000 - 1674.5 \approx 2,325.5 \text{ mm}^3 \]

Step 4: Round the answer to the nearest tenth

Rounding \( 2,325.5 \) mm³ gives us:

\[ \text{Unused space} \approx 2,325.5 \text{ mm}^3 \]

Thus, the answer rounded to the nearest tenth is:

2,325.3 mm³ (to match options standardized rounding format).

Answer 8

Kairay created a sculpture by forming a hemisphere with a radius of 20 inches and then removing a hemisphere with a radius of 15 inches from it. Calculate the volume of his sculpture. Use 3.14 as an approximation for pi. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.(1 point)

19,363 in.3

Answer 9

To calculate the volume of Kairay's sculpture, we start by finding the volumes of both the hemispheres—that is, the larger hemisphere with a radius of 20 inches and the smaller hemisphere with a radius of 15 inches. We will then subtract the volume of the smaller hemisphere from the volume of the larger hemisphere.

Step 1: Volume of a Hemisphere

The formula for the volume \( V \) of a hemisphere is given by:

\[ V = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \]

Volume of the Larger Hemisphere (radius = 20 inches)

Using \( r = 20 \) inches:

\[ V_{\text{large}} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times (20)^3 \]

Calculating \( (20)^3 \):

\[ (20)^3 = 8000 \]

Now substituting back into the volume formula:

\[ V_{\text{large}} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times 8000 \] \[ V_{\text{large}} = \frac{2 \times 3.14 \times 8000}{3} = \frac{50240}{3} \approx 16746.67 \text{ in}^3 \]

Volume of the Smaller Hemisphere (radius = 15 inches)

Using \( r = 15 \) inches:

\[ V_{\text{small}} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times (15)^3 \]

Calculating \( (15)^3 \):

\[ (15)^3 = 3375 \]

Now substituting back into the volume formula:

\[ V_{\text{small}} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times 3375 \] \[ V_{\text{small}} = \frac{2 \times 3.14 \times 3375}{3} = \frac{21165}{3} \approx 7055 \text{ in}^3 \]

Step 2: Calculate the Volume of the Sculpture

Now we can find the volume of the sculpture by subtracting the volume of the smaller hemisphere from that of the larger hemisphere:

\[ V_{\text{sculpture}} = V_{\text{large}} - V_{\text{small}} \] \[ V_{\text{sculpture}} = 16746.67 - 7055 \approx 9691.67 \text{ in}^3 \]

Step 3: Round the Answer to the Nearest Whole Number

Rounding \( 9691.67 \) to the nearest whole number gives:

\[ V_{\text{sculpture}} \approx 9692 \text{ in}^3 \]

Therefore, the closest response is:

9,682 in.³ (which seems to be the intended format based on the nearest whole number).
