The radius of a basketball is about 3.6 times greater than the radius of a tennis ball how many times greater is the volume of a basketball than a volume of a tennis ball
Volume of a sphere is Vbask=4/3 pi (rₐ)^3 where rₐ is the radius of a basketball v tenn= 4/3 pi (rₓ)^3 where rₓ is the radius of the tennis ball we know that rₐ=3.6 rₓ
vbasket/v tennis= 4/3pi (3.6 rₓ)^3= we see all is cancelled beside 4/3 pi rₓ 3.6^3=46.65 the volume of the basketball is aprox 46.65 bigger than the volume of the tennis ball
