Algebra.Com's Answer #109870 by nerdybill(7384) You can put this solution on YOUR website! The problem gives you the volume of a sphere: \n" ); document.write( "V= 4/3 (3.14)R^3 \n" ); document.write( "where \n" ); document.write( "V is the volume \n" ); document.write( "R is the radius \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Also, in the problem, they said that the bowling ball is 8 inches in diameter. \n" ); document.write( "Since, half the diameter is the radius we have: \n" ); document.write( "R = (1/2)(8)= 4 inches \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Now we simply plug it into our equation: \n" ); document.write( "V= 4/3 (3.14)(4)^3 \n" ); document.write( "First, multiplying the 4 and 3.14 we get: \n" ); document.write( "V= (12.56/3)(4)^3 \n" ); document.write( "Dividing 12.56 by 3: \n" ); document.write( "V= (4.187)(4)^3 \n" ); document.write( "Then we resolve 4^3: \n" ); document.write( "V= (4.187)(64) \n" ); document.write( "Finally, we get: \n" ); document.write( "V= 267.947 cubic inches\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
