Question

1. which real - world object is most likely modeled as a sphere when calculating its volume?

a. a tire
b. a globe
c. a pencil
d. a box

Explanation:

• A tire is a torus - like shape (a doughnut - shaped object), not a sphere.
• A globe is a spherical - shaped object used to represent the Earth, so it can be modeled as a sphere for volume calculation.
• A pencil is a cylinder (for the main body) with a conical tip (in some cases), not a sphere.
• A box is a rectangular prism (a 3 - D shape with six rectangular faces), not a sphere.
