Question

@iGreen.


A spherical melon has a diameter of 15 cm, including the rind. The edible portion has a diameter of 8 cm.

What is the volume of the rind? Use 3.14 to approximate pi and round your answer to one decimal place.

Answer 1

____cm^3

Answer 2

Um, I guess we find the volume of both and subtract..

Answer 3

\(V = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3\)

Plug in what we know:

\(V = \dfrac{4}{3} (3.14) (7.5)^3\)

Simplify

Answer 4

7.5^3 = 421.87500

Answer 5

1.3333 times 3.14 times 421.87500

Answer 6

1766.20584

Answer 7

Yes, now find the volume of the rind:

\(V = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3\)

\(V = \dfrac{4}{3} (3.14) (4)^3\)

Answer 8

1.3333 times 3.14 times 64

Answer 9

267.939968

Answer 10

Yes, now subtract 1766.20584 - 267.939968

Answer 11

1498.265872

Answer 12

so 1498.26587 is my answer

Answer 13

Yes, so our answer is 1498.3
