Multiple choice

A child was playing with a glowing spherical ball filled completely with liquid. The ball struck a sharp object, broke, and all the liquid spilled out. If the radius of the ball was 5 cm, find the volume of liquid it contained.

  1. 514.7 cm3

  2. 523.8 cm3

  3. 531.8 cm3

  4. 535.5 cm3

  5. NA

B Correct answer
Explanation

Volume of a sphere = (4/3) * pi * r^3. With r = 5, V = (4/3) * 3.14159 * 125 = 523.598... which rounds to 523.8.

AI explanation

The liquid completely fills the spherical ball, so its volume is calculated using the formula for the volume of a sphere: (4/3) times pi times the radius cubed. Substituting the given radius of 5 cm, we get (4/3) times (22/7) times 5 cubed. This simplifies to approximately 523.8 cm3, which is the volume of the liquid.
