Question 442627: I need to fill bowls with candy. Each bowl is 14 inches high and 16 inches at it's widest point. How do I calculate how much I need to fill bowls? The formula 4/3 times pie times radius cubed gave me about 2144.66. What does that mean?

----------------------
V = (4/3)pi*r^3 is the volume of a sphere.
Maybe each of your bowls is close to half a sphere with
an estimated radius of 14 in.
If so the volume of 2 of the bowls would be approximately 11495 in^3
