A sphere has a radius of 5.3 ft. What is the volume of the sphere to the nearest tenth? use 3.14 for pi.

A16.6 ft³
B148.9 ft³
C522.4 ft³
D623.3 ft³

Verified Answer :

Choice D.) 623.3ft cubed
Hope this helps.

ANSWER

\(Volume =623.3ft^3\) to the nearest tenth.


EXPLANATION

The volume of a sphere is calculated using the formula;


\(Volume =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\)

where \(r\) is the radius of the sphere.

The radius was given as \(5.3ft\) in the question.


We now substitute \(r=5.3\) and \(\pi=3.14\) in to the formula for finding the volume of the sphere to obtain;


\(Volume =\frac{4}{3} (3.14) (5.3)^3\)


This implies that;

\(Volume =623.3ft^3\)
