A toy ball can be modeled as a sphere. Eva measures its diameter as 15.7 cm. Find the
ball's volume in cubic centimeters. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary

Answer:

[tex]v = 2064.2 {cm}^{3} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we first consider the formula for the volume of a sphere

[tex]v = \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3} [/tex]

we were given diameter of 15.7cm.

we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2

because two times a radius makes a diameter.

[tex] \frac{15.7}{2} = 7.9cm[/tex]

we have the radius as 7.9cm.

and we know pi (π) to be 3.14 or 22/7.

but in this case, we use 3.14.

now let's substitute the values in the formula

[tex]v = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times {7.9}^{3} [/tex]

and we will get

[tex]v = 2064.19 {cm}^{3} [/tex]

but the nearest 10th will be

[tex]v = 2064.2 {cm}^{3} [/tex]
