The circumference of the Spaceship Earth at Epcot Center is 518.1 feet. Determine Spaceship Earth's approximate volume.n
In order to calculate the volume of Spaceship Earth, we need to know its shape. Since Spaceship Earth is a geodesic sphere, we can use the formula for the volume of a sphere.
The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3) * π * r^3, where r is the radius of the sphere.
First, we need to find the radius of Spaceship Earth. The circumference of a circle is calculated by the formula C = 2π * r. Thus, we can rearrange this formula to solve for r:
518.1 = 2 * π * r
r = 518.1 / (2 * π)
r ≈ 82.4 feet
Now that we have found the radius, we can calculate the volume using the formula for the volume of a sphere:
V = (4/3) * π * 82.4^3
V ≈ (4/3) * π * 564618.432
V ≈ 2358864.44 cubic feet
Therefore, the approximate volume of Spaceship Earth at Epcot Center is 2,358,864.44 cubic feet.
