help plez

You are probably aware of the formula to calculate the volume of a sphere with radius r:\[V=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\pi r^3\]so you only need to convert the diameter (28 cm) to the radius, and put that value into the formula...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnks @ZeHanz

OpenStudy (zehanz):

YW! ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still didnt get it right i need the answer plez

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its soooooooo confusing

OpenStudy (aravindg):

can u show ur working ? let me see where are u getting stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get it at all

OpenStudy (aravindg):

just do what zehanz said above :)

OpenStudy (aravindg):

just use the formula !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get it

OpenStudy (aravindg):

what value did u get for r ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

28

OpenStudy (zehanz):

No, 28 is the diameter :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[V=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 } \pi 24^{3}\]

OpenStudy (zehanz):

In a circle, the radius is half the diameter, so if the diameter is 28, the radius is 14. If you want to solve problems such as the above, this knowledge is rather essential, I'm afraid...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im srry just tired forgot to half my problem thnks for correcting me

OpenStudy (zehanz):

yw!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[V=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 } \pi 14^{3}=11494.04032\]

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Right! So if you round to the nearest 500, you'll have the answer option of the original problem.

thnks again
