A tennis player has 6 balls with a diameter of 6 cm. Find the volume of all 6 balls. ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

volume of a sphere (in this case one ball) = 4/3 πr^3 radius of a ball = diameter/2 = 6/2=3 can you do it now ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure can you write the formula again? because that is confusing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@amriju help me please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@amriju ??

OpenStudy (amriju):

hey i am so sorry..my laptop was on...i was else where

OpenStudy (amriju):

ok..so we are dealing with volume of spheres..so what is the volume of one sphere? do you know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (amriju):

ok you know what is radius of a sphere, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt that like the middle

OpenStudy (amriju):

the middle is the center. RAdius is the distance of the center from like the sphere's outline...you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (amriju):

so the volume of 1 sphere is 4*pi*(radius)^3/3...radius^3 means radius to the power 3..you know what is pi?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes 3.14

OpenStudy (amriju):

correctomundo..so can you find the volume of 1 sphere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i dont have the radius

OpenStudy (amriju):

yes..so here comes the diameter...you know what that is? its double of radius..so can you find the radius now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 12

OpenStudy (amriju):

my friend, diameter is double of radius..so radius is half of diametre

OpenStudy (amriju):

hey..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so 3

OpenStudy (amriju):

yupp..:)..you got it..now go for the volume soldier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

110.214 ?

OpenStudy (amriju):

are you sure?calculate once more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

339.12

OpenStudy (amriju):

baby..you forgot to divide by 3 :(

OpenStudy (amriju):

oh..sorry for that word...mistake of mine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you rewrite the formula

OpenStudy (amriju):

4*pi*(radius)^3/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

113.04

OpenStudy (amriju):

yippie..so u have the volume of 1 sphere...so the volume of 6 spheres will be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

678.24

OpenStudy (amriju):

hoorah....:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with 3 more please

OpenStudy (amriju):

as long as I get a medal..;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Baseballs have a radius of 9 cm. Find the volume of 5 balls.

OpenStudy (amriju):

hey...thats cheating..the last problem was harder than this..give atry..tell me how to do it..

OpenStudy (amriju):

hello...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im thhinking

OpenStudy (amriju):

hey you did the last one..

OpenStudy (amriju):

did you find a way?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

188.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried and bet its still wrong

OpenStudy (amriju):

did you find any answer..if you did..tell me..

OpenStudy (amriju):

you dont want to post it here..msg me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

188.4

OpenStudy (amriju):

ok what did you do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well 4x 3.14 x 27/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

37.68

OpenStudy (amriju):

why did you do 27/9?...the formula is 4*pi*(radius)^3/3

OpenStudy (amriju):

heyyyyyy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 3,052.08 ???

OpenStudy (amriju):

yo..so find for 5 spheres...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what thats right?

OpenStudy (amriju):

yes dearie..:)..see you can do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its going to give me a really big number, i dont think it'll be right

OpenStudy (amriju):

come on, trust me..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15260.4

OpenStudy (amriju):

which is correct...

OpenStudy (amriju):

u dont believe me..ask any body else...

OpenStudy (amriju):

ok so the next questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amriju):

wait a minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (amriju):

so volume of the shaded region once again, huh..? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yesss

OpenStudy (amriju):

if i tell u that the volume of the shaded region is volume of the larger sphere-volume of the smaller sphere, would you mind?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean

OpenStudy (amriju):

look at the picture...the larger sphere is made of the shaded part and the smaller sphere, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yes

OpenStudy (amriju):

so if you would subtract the volume of the smaller sphere from the larger one, what would you be left with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (amriju):

no no thats not what i meant..would you not be left with the volume of d shaded part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooh yes

OpenStudy (amriju):

are you clear over here..shall i proceed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (amriju):

ok then..so why dont you find the volume of the larger and smaller sphere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how? with the same formula ive used or what

OpenStudy (amriju):

obviously..when you are dealing with volume of a sphere, thats the formula u use

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x 3.14 x what?

OpenStudy (amriju):

radius^3/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the radius?

OpenStudy (amriju):

you got the diameter..remember what i told u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh twice of the diameter or half?

OpenStudy (amriju):

radius is half of diameter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but theres two diameters

OpenStudy (amriju):

yeah..the bigger diameter is for d bigger sphere..the smaller one for the smaller sphere...now calculate the volume of the larger nd smaller sphere

OpenStudy (amriju):

did u find it baby?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

large one 904.32 small one 113.04

OpenStudy (amriju):

so now what is the volume of the shaded part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well how do i find that

OpenStudy (amriju):

remember what i told you..the bigger sphere is made up of the smaller sphere and the shaded part...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do i add subtract what?

OpenStudy (amriju):

give a wild try. what should you do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract
