Exercise 12 Page 456

Use the formula for the volume of a sphere.

7238.2ft^3

Practice makes perfect

The given solid is a sphere.

We can use the formula for the volume of a sphere to calculate the volume. V=4/3Ï€ r^3 We know that the radius is 12 feet. Let's substitute this value into the formula!

V=4/3Ï€ r^3
V=4/3Ï€ ( 12)^3
â–¼
Evaluate right-hand side
V=4/3Ï€ (1728)
V=6912/3Ï€
V=2304Ï€
V=7238.229473...
V≈ 7238.2

The volume of the sphere is approximately 7238.2 cubic feet.
