Answer:
0.52 cubic inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: circumference of a basketball is 31.4 inches.
[tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]
To find: basketball's volume to the nearest cubic inches
Solution:
circumference of a basketball (sphere) = 6.28(radius)
Also, circumference of a basketball = 31.4 inches.
So, 6.28(radius) = 3.14
radius = [tex]\frac{3.14}{6.28}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inch
Volume of the basketball (sphere) = [tex]\frac{4}{3}(\pi )(radius)^3=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(\frac{1}{2})^3=0.52\,\,cubic\,\,inches[/tex]
