Finding the Volume of a Volleyball

The diameter of this beach ball is 12 inches.

Apply the formula for the volume of a sphere to

determine how much air it can hold. Use the calculator

to multiply by n. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Sphere V =

How much air can the beach ball hold?

1) Intro

Done

It can hold 904.78 in³ of air

Step-by-step explanation:

radius = 12/2 = 6

To calculate the volume of a sphere we have to use the following formula:

V = volume

r = radius = 6in

π = 3.14 16

V = ⁴⁄₃πr³

we replace the known values

V = ⁴⁄₃ * 3.14 * (6in) ³

V = 4.1888 * 216 in³

V = 904.7808 in³

round to the nearest hundredth

V = 904.78 in³

The volume of the sphere is 904.78 in³
