a basketball that has the radius of 7.5 inches has more volume than a volleyball that has a radius of 9.2 centimeters. What ball has the most volume in inches?? (2.54cm = 1inch) PLEASE HELP I LITERALLY HAVE TO FINISH THIS IN 10 MINUTES!!!!!!!!

Respuesta :

For this problem, we need to convert the radius of the ball from centimeters to inches.

This is done by dividing the radius by 2.54:

[tex]r_{inches}=\frac{9.2}{2.54}=3.62\text{ inches}[/tex]

Assuming that both balls are spheres, their volumes are:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V_1=\frac{4}{3}\pi(7.5)^3=1767.15\text{ cubic inches}\\ \\ V_2=\frac{4}{3}\pi(3.62)^3=198.71\text{ cubic inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The ball with a radius of 7.5 inches has the most volume in cubic inches.
