Emma is installing a new tile floor. Each tile measures 12 inches by 12 inches. The room in which she is installing the tiles measures 14 feet by 10 feet. If each tile costs $1.25, how much will it cost Emma to complete her project?

14 * 10 * $1.25 = ?

To find the volume of a spherical water tank, we'll need to use the formula for the volume of a sphere:

V = (4/3) * π * r³

Where V is the volume, π is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14, and r is the radius of the sphere.

Given that the diameter of the water tank is 10 feet, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2:

r = 10 feet / 2 = 5 feet

Now we can substitute the value of the radius into the volume formula:

V = (4/3) * 3.14 * (5 feet)³ = (4/3) * 3.14 * (5^3) = (4/3) * 3.14 * 125 = (4/3) * 392.5 = 523.33

The volume of the spherical water tank is approximately 523.33 cubic feet.

To find how much water the tank holds when half full, we need to divide the volume by 2:

Half Volume = 523.33 cubic feet / 2 = 261.665 cubic feet

So, the spherical water tank holds approximately 261.67 cubic feet of water when half full.
