hot air balloon tour. If you have a round hot air balloon that is shaped like a ball and is 50 feet in

diameter, how much air does it contain? Use 3.14 for i.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The balloon contain 65416.6 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If you have a round hot air balloon that is shaped like a ball and is 50 feet in  diameter.

To find : How much air does it contain?

Solution :

The ball is in spherical shape.

The diameter d=50 feet.

The radius is [tex]r=\frac{d}{2}[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{50}{2}=25\ feet[/tex]

The air does it contain is given by the volume of the ball.

The volume of the ball is [tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (25)^3[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times 15625[/tex]

[tex]V=65416.67\ ft^3[/tex]

Therefore, the balloon contain 65416.6 cubic feet.

Answer:

D.   65,417 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere ≈ 43 × 3.14 × (radius)3
