is anyone familiar with volumes? if so can you help with one question

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

OpenStudy (matt101):

The candy is a sphere. There's a smaller sphere in the middle surrounded by a shell. To find the volume of the outer shell, all you need to do is subtract the volume of the small inner sphere from the volume of the entire candy!

OpenStudy (perl):

you can use the formula $$ \Large V=\pi~ (r_{outer}^2- r_{inner}^2) $$

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

okay so what is pi?

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

3.14 right

OpenStudy (matt101):

Pi is a constant. You can use 3.14.

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

okay so 6-9 x3.14 =-22.26

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

is that correct?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

no, you did r you need to do r^2 always positive

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

do i have to do r^2 to both of them?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

yes the volume of a sphere is

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

9156.24

|dw:1426388854695:dw|

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

so its going to be 659,249.28?

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

6^3 x 9^3 =157,464 x 3.14=494,436.96 x 4 divide 3 and i got 659,249.28

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@perl how did you arrive at that formula?
