Adult size basketballs have a radius of approximately 12 cm.
Calculate the volume of air needed to fill the basketball to the nearest whole
number
Include the proper units.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

The volume of air needed is 603 cm³.

Explanation:

In general, basketball has a size of a sphere, so you have to find the volume of sphere using the formula :

[tex]v = \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]let \: r = 12[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times {12}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times 144[/tex]

[tex]v = 192\pi[/tex]

[tex]v = 603 \: {cm}^{3} (near. \: whole \: no)[/tex]
