Answer:
D. 2 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Volume of golf (sphere) = 4 in³
A golf ball is spherical in shape. Thus, to find its volume we would use the formula for the volume of a sphere.
[tex] Volume \; of \; a \; sphere = \frac {4}{3} \pi r^{3} [/tex]
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] 4 = \frac {4}{3} * 3.142* r^{3} [/tex]
Cross-multiplying, we have;
[tex] 12 = 4 * 3.142* r^{3} [/tex]
[tex] 12 = 12.568 * r^{3} [/tex]
[tex] r^{3} = \frac {12.568}{12} [/tex]
[tex] r^{3} = 1.0473 [/tex]
Taking the cube root of both sides, we have;
Radius, r = 1.016 inches.
To find the diameter;
Diameter = radius * 2
Diameter = 1.016 * 2
Diameter = 2.03 ≈ 2 inches.
