A company has made a rubber ball for $0.02 per square foot. the company wants to spend a maximum of $1 each on a new ball. what is the diameter of the new ball to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Respuesta :

The diameter of a new ball is 4.0ft

According to the statement

we have given that the the company wants to spend a maximum of $1 each.

And we have to find a diameter of a new ball.

Remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the surface area is

A = 4*pi*(D/2)^2

In this case, the cost is $0.02 per square foot, and the company wants to expend (at maximum) $1 per ball, so first we need to solve:

$0.02*A = $1

A = $1/$0.02 = 50

So the surface of the ball must be 50 square feet.

Then we solve:

50ft^2 = 4*3.14*(D/2)^2

D = 2*√(50 ft^2/(4*3.14)) = 4.0 ft

here the diameter of a ball is 4.0ft.

So, The diameter of a new ball is 4.0ft
