Leah has two congruent beach balls. The diameter of one ball is 20 inches. Which choice is the closest for the volume of the second ball?

What is the volume of the ball with a diameter of 20 inches?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V = 4 3 πr3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's the basic formula for the volume of a ball

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in this case, r = 10 (since 10 is half of 20)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do i do next

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so that's the approximate volume of the first and second ball because they are congruent (ie the same size and shape)

thanks
