A spherical tank has a capacity of 350 gallons.
Using the fact that 1 gallon is about 0.1337 ft3,
find the radius of the tank (to the nearest hundredth of a foot).
:
Find the no. of cubic ft in 350 gal
350 * .1337 = 46.8 cu/ft
:
( = 46.8
multiply both sides by 3
( = 140.4
divide both sides by 4pi
=
= 11.17
r ==
r = 2.24 ft is the radius of the sphere
