Question

The eggs of birds and other animals come in many different shapes and sizes. Eggs often have a shape that is nearly spherical. When this is true, you can use the formula for a sphere to find their volume.

Fossilized spherical eggs of dinosaurs called titanosaurus sauropods were found in Patagonia. These eggs were 11 centimeters in diameter. Find the volume of an egg. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

696.9 cm^3 to the nearest tenth.

Explanation:

Radius of the egg = 1/2 * 11 = 5.5 cm.

Volume = 4/3 * pi * 5.5^3

= 696.9099703
