a fishbowl shaped like a sphere is filled with water. The fishbowl has a diameter of 16 inches. Which measurement is closest to the volume of water in the fishbowl in cubic inches?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The volume of the water in the fishbowl is equal to

[tex](682\frac{2}{3})\pi\ in^{3}[/tex]  or  [tex]2,144.6\ in^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the sphere (a fishbowl) is equal to

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

In this problem we have

[tex]r=16/2=8\ in[/tex] ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (8^{3})=\frac{2,048}{3}\pi\ in^{3}[/tex]

convert to mixed number

[tex]\frac{2,048}{3}\pi\ in^{3}=\pi (\frac{2,046}{3}+\frac{2}{3})=(682\frac{2}{3})\pi\ in^{3}[/tex]

[tex](3.14156)*(682\frac{2}{3})=2,144.6\ in^{3}[/tex]

Answer:

2,144.66 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere,

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (r)^3[/tex]

Where,

r = radius of the sphere,

If Diameter of a sphere = 16 inches,

Then the radius of the sphere, r = [tex]\frac{16}{2}[/tex] = 8 inches

So, the volume of the sphere,

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (8)^3[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{4}{3}\times 512[/tex]

[tex]=2144.66058485[/tex]

[tex]\approx 2144.66\text{ square inches }[/tex]

∵ the  fishbowl shaped like a sphere having diameter 16 in is filled with water.

Thus, the volume of the water in the fish bowl = volume of sphere having diameter 16 inches

=  2,144.66 in³
