Since the formula involves r3=73=343, and we multiply by 722тАЛ, notice that 343/7=49. The calculation simplifies to 4├Ч22├Ч49/3=88├Ч49/3=4312/3. Dividing 4312 by 3 gives approximately 1437.33.
Students often confuse the surface area formula 4╧Аr2 with the volume formula 34тАЛ╧Аr3.
Identify the formula
The volume of a sphere is given by the standard geometric formula involving the radius r.
V=34тАЛ╧Аr3
Substitute the values
Substitute r=7 and ╧А=22/7 into the volume equation.
V=34тАЛ├Ч722тАЛ├Ч73
Simplify and Calculate
Cancel one 7 from the numerator and denominator, leaving 4├Ч22├Ч72/3.
V=34├Ч22├Ч49тАЛ=34312тАЛ
Final Division
Divide 4312 by 3 to obtain the final volume in cubic centimeters.
VтЙИ1437.33┬аcm3
A is correct because the calculation of 34тАЛ├Ч722тАЛ├Ч73 results in exactly 1437.33┬аcm3.
Understanding volume formulas is essential for calculus problems involving rates of change, specifically related rates where volume changes with respect to time.
