A spherical tank has a capacity of 350 gallons.
\n" ); document.write( " Using the fact that 1 gallon is about 0.1337 ft3,
\n" ); document.write( " find the radius of the tank (to the nearest hundredth of a foot).
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the no. of cubic ft in 350 gal
\n" ); document.write( "350 * .1337 = 46.8 cu/ft
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2F3\"(\"pi%2Ar%5E3\" = 46.8
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "(\"4%2Api%2Ar%5E3\" = 140.4
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 4pi
\n" ); document.write( "\"r%5E3\" = \"140.4%2F%284%2Api%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r%5E3\" = 11.17
\n" ); document.write( "r == \"11.17%5E%281%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = 2.24 ft is the radius of the sphere
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
