Problema Solution
A basketball has a diameter of 12 inches. What is the volume of air on the inside?
Answer provided by our tutors
We will use the volume of sphere equation which states:
V=(4/3)*pi*r^3
Since the diameter is 12 inches, the radius is:
r=d/2= 6 inches
We plug this into the first equation to get:
V=(4/3)*pi*(6^3)
Solving for V, we get:
V=904.78 in^3
This is the volume of air inside.
