Question

The gift shop at a science museum sells lollipops that are made to look like the planets. Each lollipop is shaped like a sphere and has a radius of 12 mm.
What is the volume of each lollipop?

Answer 1

The volume is 7.2 cm³.

Given,

Radius (r) = 12mm

To Find,

The volume of each lollipop =?

Solution,

The volume of the lollipop = The volume of a sphere

From the formula of volume of a sphere, we get

V = (4/3)πr³

V = (4/3)π(12)³

V = (4/3)π(12 x 12 x 12)

V = π(4 x 4 x 12 x 12)

V = π x 2304

V = 7238.23

V = 7238.23 mm³

V = 7.2 cm³

Hence, the volume of each lollipop is 7.2 cm³(2304π mm³).
