Use the formula for the circumference of a circle to find its radius.
About 29.19 cubic inches
A regulation softball can be modeled by the following sphere with a circumference of C=12 inches.
C= 12
Rearrange equation
.LHS /2Ï€.=.RHS /2Ï€.
a/b=.a /2./.b /2.
Use a calculator
Round to 2 decimal place(s)
Therefore, the radius of the sphere is about r=1.91 inches. Now, let's use the formula for the volume of a sphere.
r= 1.91
Calculate power and product
a/c* b = a* b/c
Multiply
