Answer:
d=18 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a sphere is represented by the equation [tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r[/tex]³, where r is the radius. If the volume is 972[tex]\pi[/tex],
[tex]972\pi =\frac{4}{3}\pi r[/tex]³
Divide [tex]\pi[/tex] from each side,
[tex]972=\frac{4}{3} r[/tex]³
Multiply each side by 3/4 to get rid of the fraction,
[tex]r[/tex]³[tex]=729[/tex]
Using the cube root, we find that 729 is actually a perfect cube.
[tex]r=9[/tex]
Now, the diameter is 2 times the radius, so
9×2=18
So, the measure of the diameter is 18 feet.
