The diameter of a sphere is 4 centimeters. What is the volume of the sphere? Use 3.14 for pi. Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box. Round only your final answer to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

Using the formula for the Volume of the Sphere, we get [tex] \frac{4}{3} \pi 2^3 [/tex], we get approximately 33.5 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

Answer:

Volume of the sphere(V) is given by:

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

where,

r is the radius of the sphere.

As per the statement:

The diameter of a sphere is 4 centimeters.

Formula for the diameter(d) is given by:

[tex]d = 2r[/tex]

⇒[tex]4 = 2r[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

2 = r

or

r = 2 cm

Substitute in [1]  and use 3.14 for pi. we have;

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 2^3 = \frac{4}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 8[/tex]

Simplify:

V = 33.4933333 cubic cm

therefore,  the volume of the sphere to the nearest tenths is, [tex]33.5 cm^3[/tex]
