Volume of an ellipsoid
V=4/3πabc

Find c if a=4 in., b=3in., and V=60 in.

60=4/3(3.14)(4)(3)c
60=4/3(37.68)c
60=50.24c
60/50.24
c=1.194

am i correct? if i'm wrong could you show me the steps?

what does this mean? in V=60 in|dw:1345658716522:dw|
does this matter on my answer?

hartnn · Answer

your answer should be  1.194 in
yes,those matter,they are units, (cubic inches)
each side is in inches,so when multiplied,the volume will be in inch*inch*inch = cubic inches....
