**WILL MEDAL** Janine inflated 1 ball to a radius of 18 cm and another ball to a radius of 12 cm. How much more air was in the larger ball? Use 3.14 to approximate pi and express your answer in hundredths. ___cm3
well the volume of a sphere is 4/3pir^3 so you would take the volume of both and then take the difference
So 129.5567
Difference in volume is given by \[V-v = \frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\pi R^{3} - \frac{ 4 }{3 } \pi r^{3}\]
well i got a different answer i did 4/3pi(18)^3 - 4/3pi(12)^3 is this what you did
Im confused
We can then simplify by doing, \[V-v = \frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\pi(R^{3}-r^{3})\]
Where big r is the radius of the big ball and small r is the radius of the small ball.
Im still confused whats the answer?
well just take it step by step 18^3-12^3 is what
5832-1728
and that is 4104
the just multiply that by 4 then divide by 3
after that multiply by pi
17182.08?
@MelodicSymphony
haha i think so
just checked you are right
Thx ill tell u in like 3 mins what i get
