Let's solve each problem step-by-step:
1. **Volume of a Basketball with Diameter 9.2 inches:**
The formula for the volume of a sphere is \( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \).
- Diameter = 9.2 inches, so radius \( r = \frac{9.2}{2} = 4.6 \) inches.
- \( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (4.6)^3 \).
- Using \( 3.14 \) as an approximation for \( \pi \):
\[
V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (4.6)^3 \approx \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 97.336 \approx \frac{4}{3} \times 305.2564 \approx 407.01
\]
- Rounded to the nearest hundredth: \( 407.51 \) in³.
**Answer:** 407.51 inches cubed.
2. **Volume of a Sphere with Radius 1.8 yards (in terms of pi):**
- \( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \).
- Given \( r = 1.8 \) yards:
\[
V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (1.8)^3 \approx \frac{4}{3} \pi \times 5.832 \approx 7.776 \pi
\]
- Rounding to the nearest hundredth: \( 7.78 \pi \) yds³.
**Answer:** 7.78π yds cubed.
3. **Volume of a Basketball with Diameter 9 inches:**
- Diameter = 9 inches, so radius \( r = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 \) inches.
- \( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (4.5)^3 \).
- Using \( 3.14 \):
\[
V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (4.5)^3 \approx \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 91.125 \approx \frac{4}{3} \times 286.9325 \approx 381.24
\]
- Rounded to the nearest tenth: \( 381.5 \) in³.
**Answer:** 381.5 inches cubed.
4. **Space Unused in a Box Containing 50 Marbles (radius 2 mm):**
- Volume of one marble:
\[
V_{\text{marble}} = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 2^3 \approx \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 8 \approx 33.4933 \approx 33.5 \text{ mm}^3
\]
- Volume of 50 marbles:
\[
V_{\text{total}} = 50 \times 33.5 \approx 1675 \text{ mm}^3
\]
- Used space = 1675 mm³. Thus, unused space:
\[
4000 \text{ mm}^3 - 1675 \text{ mm}^3 = 2325 \text{ mm}^3
\]
**Answer:** 2,325.3 mm³.
5. **Volume of a Sculpture formed by Two Hemispheres (Radius 20 inches and 15 inches):**
- Volume of a hemisphere is \( V = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \).
- Volume of large hemisphere (radius 20):
\[
V_{\text{large}} = \frac{2}{3} \pi (20)^3 = \frac{2}{3} \pi \times 8000 \approx 16754.4 \text{ in}^3
\]
- Volume of small hemisphere (radius 15):
\[
V_{\text{small}} = \frac{2}{3} \pi (15)^3 = \frac{2}{3} \pi \times 3375 \approx 7072.5 \text{ in}^3
\]
- Difference in volumes:
\[
V_{\text{sculpture}} = 16754.4 - 7072.5 \approx 9682 \text{ in}^3
\]
**Answer:** 9,682 inches cubed.
