A spherical fish bowl is half-filled with water. The center of the bowl is C, and the length of segment AB is 16 inches, as shown below. Use Twenty two over seven for pi.

A sphere with diameter 16 inches is drawn.

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

402.29

1072.76

1217.40

608.73

so the volume of a sphere is 4/3 pi r^3

the radius in this case is half the diameter of 16.

4/3 pi (8)^3 = 2143

but the tank is half full so divide by 2

= 1072 in^3 (rounded)
