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

2. Blahh23 Group Title

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

3. Calcmathlete Group Title

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

4. ujjwal Group Title

where is the segment AB? Draw the figure.

5. Blahh23 Group Title

no diagram...

7. Calcmathlete Group Title

Is point C on segment AB?

8. ujjwal Group Title

what are you supposed to find out?

9. Blahh23 Group Title

Point C is the CENTER...

10. Blahh23 Group Title

were trying to find the VOLUME

11. Calcmathlete Group Title

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

12. Blahh23 Group Title

IT IS ON THE SEGMENT...

13. Calcmathlete Group Title

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

14. Blahh23 Group Title

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

15. Blahh23 Group Title

thatts what it says.

16. Calcmathlete Group Title

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?
