To find the radius of a sphere, given the volume, we can use the equation for the volume of a sphere:
V = (4/3) * Ο * r^3
Here, V is the volume of the sphere and r is the radius.
In this case, V = 500 cm^3. Let's substitute this value into the equation:
500 = (4/3) * Ο * r^3
To solve for r, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Divide both sides of the equation by (4/3) * Ο:
500 / ((4/3) * Ο) = r^3
To simplify the left side of the equation, divide 500 by ((4/3) * Ο):
r^3 = 119.6833
Now, we need to find the cube root of 119.6833:
r β β119.6833
Using a calculator, we find that r β 4.3055 cm (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
Therefore, the approximate radius of the sphere is 4.3055 cm.
