A manufacturer makes decorative globes out of silver in the shape of a solid sphere. Suppose each sphere has a radius of 1.5cm. If silver is priced at $8.00 per, how much will the silver cost to make one solid sphere?
Use 3.14 for[tex]\pi[/tex] , and do not round your answer.


Sagot :

  • Radius=1.5cm

Volume

  • 4/3πr³
  • 4/3π(1.5)³
  • 4/3π(3.375)
  • 4.5π
  • 14.13cm³

Cost per cm³=$8

Total cost

  • 14.13(8)
  • $113.04

Answer:

$113.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

[tex]\sf \textsf{Volume of a sphere}=\dfrac43 \pi r^3 \quad \textsf{(where r is the radius)}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{Given}: \quad \sf r & =\sf 1.5\:cm\\ \pi & = \sf 3.14 \end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \sf \textsf{Volume of silver globe} & =\sf \dfrac43 \cdot 3.14 \cdot (1.5)^3\\\\& =\sf 14.13 \:cm^3\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Given}: \quad \sf Cost\:of\:silver=\$ 8.00\:per\:cm^3[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Cost of silver for one globe} & =\textsf{Volume of globe} \times \sf \$ 8.00\\ & =\sf 14.13 \times \sf \$ 8.00\\& =\sf \$ 113.04\end{aligned}[/tex]
