@OM14forever

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

no actually 3037.95 in^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so it looks like your first calculation was correct

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

it was?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

900.13 in^3?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I'm gonna start over

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the formula that you use I will post below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }(3.14)r ^{3}\]

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So as you probably know...... r is the radius, which is half the diameter. Since the diameter of the whole sphere is 18 the radius would be half of that, which is 9. If you plug 9 into the formula what do you get?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

Outer Layer: 3052.08 Core: 14.13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmmmm..... Maybe but I don't think so....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the numbers from the picture you posted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3053.63-14.14=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I calculates at least.....

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

those numbers used the full pi, but the problem wants me to only use 3.14. I have had several times in the past with similar problems where i use pi instead of 3.14 and i get it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Loser66 Please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confused by what you said....

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

The problem says use 3.14 to approximate. If I use the full \[\pi\] it wouldn't be the same as what the system has stored as the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait nvm I get it

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

because 1.5 times pi is 14.14 but 1.5 times 3.14 is 14.13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're correct..... let me recalculate

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3052.08-14.13=?????

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

3037.95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So yes your answer above is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going to take another look at the other questions I helped you on to make sure that they are correct...

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

yeah i went back to the one before this and corrected it

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

i hope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So sorry I was calculating online not on paper

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

thats okay it should be all better now
