What is the volume of a ball if the diameter of the ball is 6 inches?
Leave your answer in terms of π.
Solution:
As the ball is of the sphere shape
We know that
Volume of a sphere = 4πr2
Where, r is the radius and π = 22/7
Diameter of the ball = 6 inches
The radius of the ball = 6/2 = 3 inches [As the radius is half of the diameter]
By substituting these values in the formula
The volume of the ball = 4 × π × 32
So we get
The volume of the ball = 4 × π × 9
The volume of the ball = 36π inches3
Therefore, the volume of the ball is 36π inches3.
What is the volume of a ball if the diameter of the ball is 6 inches? Leave your answer in terms of π.
Summary:
The volume of a ball if the diameter of the ball is 6 inches is 36π inches3.
