A spherical cantaloupe is cut in half. The visible cross-section has an area of 5252 in2. The volume of the cantaloupe is cm3. Round your answer to the tenths place.

V = 286319.465 cm3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find the radius to be able to find the volume of a sphere.

The equation for the area of a circle is pi r^2 so you have to so some algebra.

5252 = pi r ^2

5252/pi = r^2

1671.76352 = r^2

sqrt(1671.76352) = r

r = 40.8872048

then you do the equation for the volume of a circle which is 4/3 pi r^3

4/3 pi (40.8872048)^3

4/3 pi 68353.7373

4/3 214739.599

286319.465

V = 286319.465 cm3

Equation: n=3m; Bob needs to read 51 novels over 17 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of novels Bob needs to read (n) depends on the amount of months (m) we can say that n is the dependent variable and m is the independent. Since x is always independent and y is always independent we can say that m is going to stand for x and n is going to stand for y. Each month Bob reads 3 novels so we can write the equations as n=3m. To find out how many books he needs to read in 17 months plug it into the equation. n=3(17) > n=51
