An average clementine is shaped like a sphere and has a diameter of 3.5 inches. What is the volume of the fruit? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Respuesta :

The formula for the volume of a sphere is [tex] \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 [/tex]

We know the diameter, but we can easily convert this into the radius by dividing it by 2, since the diameter is twice as long as the radius.

3.5/2 = 1.75

Now we can find the volume.

[tex]v = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*1.75^3--\ \textgreater \ 4.19*5.36=22.46 [/tex]

So, the average volume of a clementine is 22.46 cubic inches
