Question 806609: The diameter of the moon is 3,474 kilometers. If the moon were made of green cheese, how many cubic kilometers of cheese would there be? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Exactly the same number of cubic kilometers of whatever the moon actually is made of.
Use the formula for the volume of a sphere to get a rough approximation. The moon is actually an oblate spheroid, but you don't have enough information to make that more accurate calculation.
The volume of a sphere is given by
Don't forget that the radius is one-half of the diameter that you are given.
