An ostrich egg has about the same volume of a sphere with a diameter of 5in. If the eggshell is about 1/12 in thick, find the volume of just the shell, not including the interior of the egg. Round your answer to the nearest tenth and use 3.14 for pi.
V = (4/3)*pi*r^3 so.... V = (4/3)*pi*(2.5)^3 - (4/3)*pi*(2.46)^3 V = 65.449846958 - 62.358251704 V = 3.091595254 when you round this you get theĀ volume of the eggshell to beĀ 3.09 cubic inchesĀ
