There are two different size spherical paintballs and the smaller one has a diameter of 5 cm and the larger one is 9 cm in diameter. If the smaller paintball holds 28 cm3 of paint, how much does the larger one hold?

Respuesta :

Answer:

145.8 cm³ of paint

Explanation:

d₁ = Smaller diameter paintball = 5 cm

d₂ = Larger diameter paintball = 9 cm

V₂ = Volume of larger diameter paintball

Volume of smaller diameter paintball

[tex]V_1=\frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3\\\Rightarrow V_1=\frac{4}{3}\pi \left(\frac{d_1}{2}\right)^3\\\Rightarrow V_1=\frac{4}{24}\pi d_1^3[/tex]

Similarly

[tex]V_2=\frac{4}{24}\pi d_2^3[/tex]

Dividing the above two equations, we get

[tex]\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{d_1^3}{d_2^3}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\frac{V_1}{\frac{d_1^3}{d_2^3}}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\frac{28}{\frac{125}{729}}\\\Rightarrow V_2=163.296\ cm^3[/tex]

∴ The larger one hold 163.296 cm³ of paint
