Oscar needs to fill a sphere-shaped balloon with helium. If the balloon has a diameter of 8 inches, what is the total amount of helium that the balloon will hold to the nearest hundredth?
452.39 in.3
602.88 in.3
268.08 in.3
200.96 in.3
The volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula V = 4/3 * π * r^3, where r is the radius of the sphere.
In this case, the diameter of the balloon is 8 inches, so the radius is 8/2 = 4 inches.
Plugging the radius into the formula:
V = 4/3 * π * (4)^3
V = 4/3 * π * 64
V = 268.08 in^3
Therefore, the balloon will hold approximately 268.08 in^3 of helium. The answer is:
268.08 in.3
