What is the radius of a sphere having a volume of 38808cm
3
? (Use π=
7
22
)
- A21cm
- B27cm
- C24cm
- D18cm
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The formula for the volume of a sphere is:
V=

38808×21
Let's simplify by dividing by 11:
88÷11=8
38808÷11=3528
r
3
=
8
3528×21
Now divide 3528 by 8:
3528÷8=441
r

=441×21
We recognize that 441=21×21=21
