_____cu. in.

Answer 1

@JakeV8

Answer 2

what's the volume equation for a sphere?

Answer 3

4/3pir^3

Answer 4

that's better :)

So find the radius...

Answer 5

we gonna divide

Answer 6

2 11/16

Answer 7

that's the diameter, so you need to divide 2 11/16 in half to get the radius.. .careful with the fractions :)

Answer 8

0.6875=11/16

Answer 9

43

Answer 10

diameter = 2 11/16 = 2.6875

radius = diameter / 2 = 1.34375

Volume = (4/3) pi (radius^3)
= (4/3) pi (1.34375^3)
= (4/3) pi (2.4264)
= 5.8416 pi
= 18.3519
=18.35 cm^3 <<-- rounded to nearest hundredths

That's what I got... not sure where you got 43? But I could have made an error... might want to check it.
