if the bottom ball is 3 feet across the middle ball is 2 feet across and the top is one foot across how much snow is needed to build the whole snowman

Joe348:

multiply each number by 3.14

Joe348:

so 1 times 3.14+ 2 times 3.14 + 3 times 3.14

Joe348:

u should get 18.84

Joe348:

next u want to round it to the nearest numberr

Joe348:

so choose 18 or 19

Joe348:

one of them is the correct answer that is close to 18.84

Vocaloid:

It is asking for how much snow, so you need to calculate the volume of each sphere. Volume of a sphere = (4/3)(pi)r^3 They give you the diameter of each snowball, so divide diameter /2 for each sphere to get r Then calculate V for each sphere Then add the results

Joe348:

Did i not do the first part?

Vocaloid:

The question is asking how much snow is needed. Therefore you need volume. Multiplying diameter * pi gives circumference not volume.

Joe348:

oh okay i see.
