PLEASE HELP!!! WILL MEDAL!!! A spherical model of planet earth has a radius of 3 ft. What is the approximate volume of the model of planet earth? Use 3.14 to approximate pi and express your answer in hundredths. ft3

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

So i did this... and got 113.1 but should I round since it says 'apporximate'

Directrix (directrix):

>>r answer in hundredths. The answer came out on the exact hundredth. I think the answer should be 113.04 on the button.

Directrix (directrix):

I assume that this is done prior to calculation: Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

oh so the radius should've been 300? Im confused when you said>>r answer in hundredths.

Directrix (directrix):

The radius is 3. I use >>> to indicate that I am repeating a post made earlier in the thread.

Directrix (directrix):

>>r answer in hundredths. This means I read in the stated problem that the answer should be in hundredths. I inadvertently copied the r in that. >> express your answer in hundredths. The r is from the last letter in "your."

Directrix (directrix):

This is what I would put for the answer: 113.04 cubic feet

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

but can you show me what r answer in hundredths looks like...unless its just 113.04

Directrix (directrix):

It is just 113.04. I did what you did on Wolfram and got that same answer.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

cool. :) thank you again :D

Directrix (directrix):

You posted this: So i did this... and got 113.1 That answer is to the nearest tenth. The question says to approximate to the nearest hundredth. So, you must put 113.04

Directrix (directrix):

You are welcome.
