Question

a manufacturer makes decorative globes out of silver in the shape of a solid sphere. suppose each sphere has a radius of 3 cm. if silver is priced at $7.00 per cm³, how much will the silver cost to make one solid sphere? use 3.14 for π, and do not round your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the volume of the sphere

The formula for the volume of a sphere is \(V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}\). Given \(r = 3\) cm and \(\pi=3.14\), we substitute these values into the formula:

$$

$$

Step2: Calculate the cost of the silver

Since silver is priced at \(\$7.00\) per \(cm^{3}\), we multiply the volume \(V = 113.04\space cm^{3}\) by the price per \(cm^{3}\).

$$ \text{Cost}=113.04\times7 $$

$$ \text{Cost}=791.28 $$

Answer:

\(791.28\)
