Answer:
The diameter is 21 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3)πr³, or (in terms of the diameter) V = (4/3)π(d/2)³. This simplifies to
4πd³ πd³
V = ----------- = -----------
3·8 6
Now equate V = (πd³/6) to 4851 cm³. We must first solve this for d³ and then take the cube root of the result:
πd³ = 4851(6) = 29106.
Dividing this result by π yields 9264.7,
and taking the cube root of this is 21. The diameter is 21 cm
