Question

Your team gets an ice sculpture in the shape of a basketball. It has a radius of 12 inches. What is the volume of the ice? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

V=4/3 pi r squared. 12 squared=144. 144 times 4 divided by 3= 192pi =7238.2

Answer 2

7234.56 cubic inches

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is defined as:

`V=(4/3)\cdot{\pi}\cdot{r^3}`

If pi=3.14 and the radius r is 12 wecan calculate the volume:

`V=(4/3)\cdot{3.14}\cdot{12^3}=7234.56`

The volume of the ice is 7234.56 cubic inches
