Question

A basketball holds 334 cubic inches of air. Find the radius of the basketball. Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest hundredth. A. 11.89 B. 5.21 C. 4.30 D. 8.92

Answer 1

4.30 inches

Explanation:

Given data

Volume of basket ball= 334cubic inches

We know that the expression for the volume of a sphere is given as

Volume of sphere= 4/3πr^3

334= 4/3πr^3

334=4/3*3.142*r^3

334=4.189*r^3

r^3= 334/4.189

r^3=79.73

cubic root both sides

r= ∛79.73

r=4.30 inches
