A sphere has a radius of 3.5 inches.
Volume (to the nearest tenth) = cubic inches
The answer that I got was 179.6.
It is wrong ! i I miss a step?
V = (4/3) π r^3
= (4/3) π (3.5)^3 = 179.59438
which to the nearest tenth = 179.6
You are correct
For some reason the computer keeps saying my answer is wrong.
try 179.7 , obtained if 22/7 is used for an approximation of π.
I stand by my answer.
To calculate the volume of a sphere, you can use the formula:
Volume = (4/3) × π × r^3
In this formula, "r" represents the radius of the sphere. Let's substitute the given radius of 3.5 inches into the formula.
Volume = (4/3) × π × (3.5)^3
Now, let's evaluate the expression:
Volume = (4/3) × π × (42.875)
Volume = 179.59465148
When rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume of the sphere is approximately 179.6 cubic inches.
It seems that the answer you obtained, 179.6, is correct. If you have a different answer and believe it to be incorrect, please double-check your calculations to ensure accuracy.
