Billy’s exercise ball contains 0.523 m3 of air. What is the radius of the exercise ball? Use 3.14 for π and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Respuesta :

The radius of exercise ball is 0.5 meter, if Billy’s exercise ball contains 0.523 [tex]m^{3}[/tex] of air and [tex]\pi[/tex] = 3.14.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

          Volume of exercise ball = 0.523 cubic meter

Step:1

          Exercise ball looks like a sphere,

          Formula foe volume of sphere,

                                      [tex]Volume, V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]......................(1)

          Where, r - Radius of sphere

          From given, V = 0.523 cubic meters

          Equation (1) becomes,

                                                [tex]0.523 = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]          

                                                [tex]0.523 = \frac{4}{3} (3.14) r^{3}[/tex]             (∵ [tex]\pi[/tex] = 3.14 )

                                                [tex]0.523 = (1.333)(3.14)r^{3}[/tex]

                                                [tex]0.523 = (4.18667)r^{3}[/tex]

                                                     [tex]r^{3} = \frac{0.523}{4.18667}[/tex]

                                                     [tex]r^{3} = 0.12492[/tex]

           Take cube root on both sides,

                                                      [tex]r=\sqrt[3]{0.12492}[/tex]

                                                       r = 0.49989

                                                      r ≅ 0.5 meter

Result:

          The radius of exercise ball is 0.5 meter, if Billy’s exercise ball contains 0.523 [tex]m^{3}[/tex] of air and [tex]\pi[/tex] = 3.14.
