Calculate the capacity of spherical containers?

Answer 1

The capacity of a spherical container would be the volume of the sphere. The equation for the volume of a sphere is:

Volume = 4/3 multiplied by pi, multiplied by the radius of the sphere cubed, expressed as:

V=4/3(pi)r3

If the radius (the distance from the center of the sphere to any point on its surface) is 10 centimeters, then the capacity of the spherical container would be as follows:

V = 4/3*(3.14159)103

V = 4/3*(3.14159)1000

V = 4/3*(3141.59)

V = 4188.79 centimeters cubed (it is important to include the cubed as this is a volume measurement)

So the capacity of a spherical container with a radius of 10 cm is 4188.79 cm3
