Answer:
7,234.56 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the volume of the beach ball. The beach ball is in the shape of a sphere. The formula for the volume of a sphere is :
We know the width, or diameter of the sphere is 24 cm. We need to find the radius. The radius is half the diameter.
r= d/2
r= 24 cm/2
r= 12 cm
The radius is 12 cm, and we can substitute it into the formula.
First, evaluate the exponent.
(12 cm)³= 12 cm * 12cm * 12 cm= 144 cm² * 12 cm = 1728 cm³
Substitute 3.14 in for pi.
Multiply all three numbers together.
Round to the nearest hundredth. The 9 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 5 to a 6 in the hundredth place.
The volume of the beach ball is 7,234.56 cubic centimeters and choice 3 is correct.
