How much larger is the calculation of the volume of a sphere’s whose radius is 39 inches if pi is used instead of 3.14? Round your answer to the nearest tenth
Using pi as 3.14, the volume of the sphere would be calculated as:
V = (4/3) * pi * r^3
V = (4/3) * 3.14 * 39^3
V ≈ 75843.8 cubic inches
Using pi as 3.14159, the volume would be calculated as:
V = (4/3) * pi * r^3
V = (4/3) * 3.14159 * 39^3
V ≈ 76307.2 cubic inches
The difference in volume would be:
76307.2 - 75843.8 = 463.4 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume calculated using pi as 3.14159 would be approximately 463.4 cubic inches larger than if pi was used as 3.14.
