If the volume of a sphere is 10293.33 cm3, what is the diameter? Use 3.14 to approximate π. Round answers to the nearest hundredth. Question 18 options: a) 13.50 cm b) 27 cm c) 31.4 cm d) 13.9 cm
You will need to know the formula for the volume of a sphere.
\[V=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\pi r ^{3}\] I'm back early
ok so what is the formula
o I dint see that ok I have the formula what do I do now
How are r and d related?
r=radius and d=diameter
well we're going to reverse it \[10293.33=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\left( 3.14 \right)r ^{3}\]
idk how they are related
ok siegel
so first you want to get r alone, so what can you do
10293.33 cm ^3
10293.33 * ^3
well here for now let's just look at (4/3)pi, what can you do
I got 200.96
i did 4*4*4=64*3.14=200.96
ok slow down. first let's divide 10293.33 by 3.14. do you know why?
no
3278.1305732484 was what i got
good we want to get r alone, so to do this we have to get rid of everything else. first we divide both sides by 3.14 to cancel it out. now what's the next thing to divide.
3278.1305732484
right so what does the equation look like now that we've canceled 3.14
3278.1305732484 /3.14
well the whole equation so\[3278.1305732484=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }r^3\]
do you understand how we got there?
no
well we had \[10293.33=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }(3.14)r^3\]then we divided 3.14 from both sides\[\frac{ 10293.33 }{ 3.14 }=\frac{ \frac{ 4 }{ 3 }(3.14)r^3 }{ 3.14 }\]the 3.14s cancel on the right side and 10293.33 is divided by 3.14 on the right side\[3278.1305732484=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }r^3\] does that clear it up?
yeah
ok so how do I get the answer
well we have \[3278.1305732484=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }r^3\]what can you divide next to get r alone
3278.1305732484/3.14
ok I have about 15 minuets left to finisj
we can do this, now the 3.14 is gone, but what about that 4/3, what do you think you do with that?
4/3 divided by 3.14
close you are right about the 4/3 but we want to cancle it from the right side. so what can we do to the left side with the 4/3
* it
8 minutes left
dont worry, you multiply the reciprocal, do you know what that is?
no
the reciprocal of 4/3 is 3/4, that's how you divide with fractions, you multiply the reciprocal.
I got 5184
4*4*4=64*3*3*3*3=5184
ok I have like 3 minuets to finish this question
there is no 4, ok look multiply 3278.1305732484 by 3/4, then find the third root. you need a good calculator for this. it will look like\[3278.1305732484\times \frac{ 3 }{ 4 }=r^3\]then like this\[2458.59793=r^3\]then\[\sqrt[3]{2458.59793}=\sqrt[3]{r ^{3}}\]and then finally like this\[r=13.49674897\]if you still need help maybe we can talk it through tomorrow.
ok so is a or c the answer
a. do you understand kind of?
yeah kind of there just 1 last question I don't know the diffre
Kelly likes to play a game with her friends where she stands in one spot with one end of a jump rope in her hand. She then twirls the rope around on the ground in a circle. Her friends jump over the other end of the rope as it comes near them. In this game, does the rope more closely resemble a radius or a diameter of a circle? radius diameter
i think it is diameter am i right or wrong
it's radius|dw:1363301591229:dw|
