Algebra.Com's Answer #450773 by rothauserc(4718)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the volume of a sphere is = 4/3 * pi * radus^3\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the volume of the sphere is 4/3 * 22/7 * 300^3\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "volume of sphere is = 1.13142857 * 10^8 cubic mm's\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the foam expands by 20 to 1 so we divide by 20 to find how much cubic mm's we need to fill the ball\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1.13142857 * 10^8 / 20 = 5.657143 * 10^6 cubic mm's of foam\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now 1 liter = 1 * 10^6 cubic mm's\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the answer is 5.7 liters \n" ); document.write( " |
