ARCHEOLOGY The stone spheres of Costa Rica were made by forming granodiorite boulders into spheres. One of the stone spheres has a volume of about 36,000 cubic inches. What is the diameter of the stone sphere?
Understand You know that the volume of the stone is 36,000 cubic inches.
Plan First use the volume formula to find the radius. Then find the diameter.

2700 ( 1 ÷ 3 )
ENTER 30
The radius of the stone is 30 inches. So, the diameter is 2(30) or 60 inches.

28. CHECK You can work backward to check the solution.
Solve Problems Involving Solids
Answer: 60 inches
CHECK You can work backward to check the solution.
If the diameter is 60, then r = 30. If r = 30, then V = cubic inches. The solution is correct. 
