## Blahh23 3 years ago A spherical fish bowl is half-filled with water. The center of the bowl is C, and the length of segment AB is 24 inches, as shown below. Use for 22/7 pi.

1. Blahh23

no choices are given, it is fill in the blank!

2. Blahh23

TO find the volume of a sphere the formula is 4/3*PI(22/7)*r^3

3. Calcmathlete

What are you trying to find? And is there a diagram?

4. ujjwal

where is the segment AB? Draw the figure.

5. Blahh23

no diagram...

7. Calcmathlete

Is point C on segment AB?

8. ujjwal

what are you supposed to find out?

9. Blahh23

Point C is the CENTER...

10. Blahh23

were trying to find the VOLUME

11. Calcmathlete

Yes, but is point C ON segment AB? If it isn't we have to approach it completely differently.

12. Blahh23

IT IS ON THE SEGMENT...

13. Calcmathlete

Alright. Last question. And you're trying to find the volume of the water or the bowl?

14. Blahh23

What is volume, in cubic inches, of water inside the fish bowl?

15. Blahh23

thatts what it says.

16. Calcmathlete

Alright. The formula for the volume of a sphere is: $V = \frac43πr^{3}$ Now, the formula for the volume of half the bowl which is the water is half o fhte formula. $V = \frac46πr^{3}$ $V = \frac46π(12)^{3}$ Can you solve from here?
