Question

A softball has an approximate volume of 33.5 in^3. What is the diameter of the softball? Use 3.14 for pi, and round your answer to the nearest inch.

Answer 1

4 in

Explanation:

Volume of a sphere is:

V = ⁴/₃ π r³

where r is the radius.

33.5 = ⁴/₃ (3.14) r³

r³ = 8.00

r = 2.00

The radius is 2 in, so the diameter is 2r = 4 in.
