Answer :
Answer:
2141.76 cubic inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that it measures 8.8 inches across a properly inflated basketball i.e. the diameter of each basketball is 8.8 inches.
So, the radius of the spherical ball is [tex]\frac{8.8}{2} =4.4[/tex] inches.
Now, a spherical solid has a volume given by [tex]\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex].
Hence, volume of air in side each basketball is = [tex]\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7}\times 4.4^{3} = 356.96[/tex] cubic inches.
Therefore, the total volume of air inside six balls will be = 6 × 356.96 = 2141.76 cubic inches. (Answer)
