Question

What is the approximate volume of the sphere? Use 3.14 to approximate pi and round the answer to two decimal places if needed.

A. 48 cm3

B. 150.72 cm3

C. 288.00 cm3

D. 904.32 cm3

Answer 1

There should have been an image that accompanied this word problem.
I saw the image of the sphere. It has a radius of 6 cm.

We need the radius of the sphere to solve for its volume.

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 π r³
V = 4/3 * 3.14 * (6m)³
V = 1.33 * 3.14 * 216cm³
V = 902.06 cm³

I solved the problem using the full value of pi and the given answer was Choice D. 904.32

There is a difference in the actual answers because of the use of numbers with that only extends two decimal places.
