When using the Sphere Volume Formula 4/3 x Pie(3.14) x r^3 Can I turn 4/3 into 1.3?

OpenStudy (paki):

yeah that is rite too...

OpenStudy (harsha19111999):

Yes you can

OpenStudy (paki):

also you can do like 4*pie*r^3 and divide it by 3....

So... The radius of a sphere is 8 mm. Approximately what is the volume of the sphere? A. 36π mm^3 B. 171π mm^3 C. 385π mm^3 D. 683π mm^3 I'm confused... I did both of those and got these.. 1.3 x 3.14 x 512 = 2089.984 and 4 x 3.14 x 512 / 3 = 2143.57333333333... Where did I go wrong? o_o @paki

OpenStudy (harsha19111999):

hey no need to take pi as it is given in options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (paki):

π problem...

OpenStudy (paki):

don't include π in your calculation

OpenStudy (paki):

as this is already in the options...

OpenStudy (harsha19111999):

4/3 * pi * r^3. Dont take pi

OpenStudy (paki):

1.3 x 512 = 682.66π @CrazyCountryGirl clear now...

OpenStudy (paki):

also 4 x 512 / 3 =682 66π @CrazyCountryGirl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D? How come we don't use pi?

OpenStudy (paki):

yeah dont use pie... pie is already there in the options...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! I didn't even look close enough, I didn't notice it. :) I get it now. Thanks! :)

OpenStudy (paki):

hmmm pleasure... :)
