## anonymous 4 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.

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

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

3. anonymous

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

4. ujjwal

where is the segment AB? Draw the figure.

5. anonymous

no diagram...

Is point C on segment AB?

8. ujjwal

what are you supposed to find out?

9. anonymous

Point C is the CENTER...

10. anonymous

were trying to find the VOLUME

11. anonymous

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

12. anonymous

IT IS ON THE SEGMENT...

13. anonymous

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

14. anonymous

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

15. anonymous

thatts what it says.

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?
