Answer:

D. [tex] r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{15V}{2\pi}} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of each wedge, [tex] V = \frac{2}{15}\pi r^3 [/tex],

Required:

Solve for r (i.e. make r the subject of the formula)

SOLUTION:

[tex] V = \frac{2}{15}\pi r^3 [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 15

[tex] 15*V = 15*\frac{2}{15}\pi r^3 [/tex]

[tex] 15V = 2\pi r^3 [/tex]

Rewrite the equation

[tex] 2\pi r^3 = 15V [/tex]

Divide both sides by 2π

[tex] \frac{2\pi r^3}{2\pi} = \frac{15V}{2\pi} [/tex]

[tex] r^3 = \frac{15V}{2\pi} [/tex]

Take the cube root of both sides

[tex] \sqrt[3]{r^3} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{15V}{2\pi}} [/tex]

[tex] r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{15V}{2\pi}} [/tex]
