OpenStudy (smartnerd1111):

what is it

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

A can of chicken stock measures 3.5 inches in diameter and is 5 inches tall. What is the volume of the can? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 38.50 cubic inches 48.08 cubic inches 92.46 cubic inches 192.33 cubic inches

@AnitaS.

OpenStudy (smartnerd1111):

V=hpir^2 d/2=r 3.5/2=r and 5=h r=1.75 V=5*3.14*1.75^2=your answer

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok let me solve that... give me a sec.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i got 48.08!

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

next! A beach ball has a diameter of 10 inches. What is the volume of air contained inside the beach ball? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 314.00 cubic inches 452.23 cubic inches 500.75 cubic inches 523.33 cubic inches

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

wait i don't get 5^3.14? is that correct

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

or is it 5^3 * 4/3.. @smartnerd1111

OpenStudy (smartnerd1111):

oops The formula for the volume a a sphere is 4/3 x 3.14 x radius^3, so that would be 4/3 x 3.14 x 5^3. 4/3 * 3.14 * 125 = answer

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

so i solve 4/3 * 3.14 * 125 to get the answer?

OpenStudy (smartnerd1111):

yes

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok... @smartnerd1111

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i got 523.3!

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

next!

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

A glass vase is shaped like a cylinder and has a radius of 2.5 inches. The vase holds 170 cubic inches of water. How tall is the vase? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 8.66 inches 9.78 inches 10.35 inches 12.50 inches

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

@smartnerd1111 ??

OpenStudy (smartnerd1111):

im coming

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok..

OpenStudy (smartnerd1111):

Okay, the volume of a cylinder is pi r^2 h, so to find the height, you just need to divide the volume by the radius squared and then by 3.14, our approximation of pi. 170 / 2.5^2 = 170 / 6.25 = 27.2 27.2 / 3.14 = 8.662420582... Rounds to 8.66

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok next!

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

sorry wrong question..

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

What is the volume of a sphere with a radius of 6 inches? 112π cubic inches 288π cubic inches 290π cubic inches 300π cubic inches

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

@smartnerd1111 ??

OpenStudy (smartnerd1111):

so the answer is pi * 6^3 *4 /3
