Tiffany wants to calculate the volume of her globe. The globe is in the shape of a sphere. She measured the circumference of the globe along the equator to be 24 inches. What is the volume of the globe? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Respuesta :

Answer:

231in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the volume of a sphere/globe is given as

V=4 /3πr^3

but the circumference is expressed as

C=2πr

solving for r given  that C=24

24=2*3.142r

24=6.284r

r=24/6.284

r=3.8in

put r=3.6 in the expression for volume we have

V=4 /3π(3.8)^3

V=4 /3π(55

V=(220.59*3.142)/3

V=693.12/3

V=231in^3

The volume of the globe is 231in^3

The volume of the globe is 233  cubic inches.

Important information:

  • Circumference of the globe along the equator to be 24 inches.

We need to find the volume of the globe.

Volume of sphere:

Let [tex]r[/tex] be the radius of the globe.

Circumference of the globe along the equator is:

[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]

[tex]24=2\pi r[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{24}{2\pi }=r[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{12}{\pi}=r[/tex]

Volume of the globe is:

[tex]V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

[tex]V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi \left(\dfrac{12}{\pi}\right)^3[/tex]

[tex]V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi \left(\dfrac{1728}{\pi^3}\right)[/tex]

[tex]V=233.444...[/tex]

[tex]V\approx 233[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of the globe is 233  cubic inches.
