Question

A globe of the moon has a radius of 10 inches. Find the volume of the globe. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer: 419 in^3

Explanation: a globe, or more generally a sphere, has a volume formula V = 4/3pir^3
Since the radius is 10 inches, we can simply plug in 10 for r to find V = 4/3 x pi x (10)^3

Thus: V = (4/3)(3.1415)(100) = 418.9 ≈ 419
