no choices are given, it is fill in the blank!

anonymous · Answer

TO find the volume of a sphere the formula is 4/3*PI(22/7)*r^3

anonymous · Answer

What are you trying to find? And is there a diagram?

ujjwal · Answer

where is the segment AB? Draw the figure.

anonymous · Answer

no diagram...

anonymous · Answer

Is point C on segment AB?

ujjwal · Answer

what are you supposed to find out?

anonymous · Answer

Point C is the CENTER...

anonymous · Answer

were trying to find the VOLUME

anonymous · Answer

Yes, but is point C ON segment AB? If it isn't we have to approach it completely differently.

anonymous · Answer

IT IS ON THE SEGMENT...

anonymous · Answer

Alright. Last question.
And you're trying to find the volume of the water or the bowl?

anonymous · Answer

What is volume, in cubic inches, of water inside the fish bowl?

anonymous · Answer

thatts what it says.

anonymous · Answer

Alright. The formula for the volume of a sphere is:
$$V = \frac43πr^{3}$$
Now, the formula for the volume of half the bowl which is the water is half o fhte formula.
$$V = \frac46πr^{3}$$
$$V = \frac46π(12)^{3}$$
Can you solve from here?
