Finding the Radius of a Sphere from Volume

Finding the Radius of a Sphere from Volume

Introduction

Have you ever wondered how you could find the size of a ball if you only knew how much space it holds? The volume of a sphere tells us how much three-dimensional space is inside it. Finding the radius...

Imagine you have a basketball with a known volume of 288π cubic inches, and you want to find its radius.

Since a basketball is shaped like a sphere, you can use the volume formula for a sphere and find its radius.

First, write the formula: V = 4/3πr³.

Next, substitute 288π for V, because that is the given volume of t...
