Jack is going to fill his beach ball with water. The radius of the ball is 24in. How much water will it take to fill the beach ball?
4.19 (2)^3
4.19 (8)
33.52
how did 24 become 2?
24 in. Equals 2 ft.
That is true. So, I guess your answer is ok, if you wanted it in ft^3. You neglected to mention that fact in stating the problem, or in giving units in your answer.
To find out how much water it will take to fill the beach ball, we need to calculate its volume. The volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula V = (4/3)πr^3, where V is the volume and r is the radius.
Given that the radius of the beach ball is 24 inches, we can substitute this value into the formula:
V = (4/3)π(24^3)
V = (4/3)π(13824)
V = 18432π
To find the numerical value of this expression, we can use an approximation for π. The commonly used approximation is 3.14. Therefore, we can calculate the volume as follows:
V ≈ 18432 × 3.14
V ≈ 57906.24 in^3
So, it will take approximately 57906.24 cubic inches of water to fill the beach ball.
