Question

Is Noah's work correct? Explain. Yes, Noah's calculations are correct. No, Noah did not simplify correctly. No, Noah used the diameter instead of the radius in the calculations. No, Noah did not use the correct formula for volume of a sphere.

Answer 1

no, he used radius instead of diameter

Explanation:

Answer 2

No, Noah used the diameter instead of the radius in the calculations.

V = 91.13π

Explanation:

Noah is working on a geometry problem that involves finding the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 9 units. His work is shown below.

V = πr3

V = π(9)3

V = π(729)

V = 972π cubic units

Is Noah’s work correct

Volume of a sphere, V = πr³

radius, r = diameter / 2

Diameter = 9 units

r = 9 / 2

= 4.5 units

Volume of a sphere, V = πr³

= π × 4.5³

= π × 91.125

= 91.125π

Approximately 91.13π

V = 91.13π

No, Noah used the diameter instead of the radius in the calculations.
