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.
20.45 cubic inches
21.34 cubic inches
22.44 cubic inches
23.78 cubic inches
The correct answer is 22.44 cubic inches.
To find the volume of a sphere, you can use the formula:
V = (4/3) * π * r^3
Given that the diameter of the clementine is 3.5 inches, the radius would be half of that, which is 1.75 inches.
Plugging this value into the formula:
V = (4/3) * 3.14 * (1.75)^3 = 22.44 cubic inches.
Therefore, the volume of the clementine is 22.44 cubic inches.
