if you had a radius of 2.5 and the second radius of the same shape is twice that which is 5 right what would the third radius be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The sphere below has a radius of 2.5 inches and an approximate volume of 65.42 cubic inches A second sphere has twice the radius of the given sphere. A third sphere has a diameter that is three-fourths of the diameter of the given sphere

Mehek (mehek14):

first find the diameter of the original sphere

Mehek (mehek14):

2.5*2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok how do I do that

Mehek (mehek14):

2.5 + 2.5

Mehek (mehek14):

diameter = radius x 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so I got that so wouldn't it be 3*2.5

Mehek (mehek14):

2 * 2.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I got that but for the third one wouldn't it be 3*2.5

Mehek (mehek14):

the diameter of the first one is 5 the diameter of the third sphere is 3/4 the diameter of the first one

Mehek (mehek14):

your question states: The sphere below has a radius of 2.5 inches and an approximate volume of 65.42 cubic inches A second sphere has twice the radius of the given sphere. A third sphere has a diameter that is three-fourths of the diameter of the given sphere

Mehek (mehek14):

A third sphere has a diameter that is three-fourths of the diameter of the given sphere

Mehek (mehek14):

the diameter of the given is 5 so multiply 5*0.75 = 3.75

Mehek (mehek14):

to find the radius, divide the diameter by 2 3.75/2

k thanks

Mehek (mehek14):

so what's the radius of the third sphere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.875

Mehek (mehek14):

correct that's your answer

thanks
