What is the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 9.1 m, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter.

1 answer

The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius of the sphere. Since the diameter is 9.1 m, the radius would be half of that, so r = 9.1/2 = 4.55 m.

Substitute the value of r into the formula:

V = (4/3)π(4.55)^3
V = (4/3)π(93.806)
V ≈ 523.6 m^3

Rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter, the volume of the sphere is approximately 523.6 m^3.
