Problema Solution

madison is filling balloons with helium. when full, the balloons are nearly spherical in shape with a diameter of 12 inches. what is the approximate volume of each balloon when it is full?

Answer provided by our tutors

volume = 4/3 * pi * r3

 

r = d/2 

r = 12/2

r = 6

 

volume = 4/3 * 3.14 * 63

= 4/3 * 3.14 * 216

= 4/3 * 678.24

= 904.32

 

approximately 904 cubic inches
