kelly decides to build a 20 foot snowman made of 3 snowballs. the largest has a radius of 5 feet. the next will have a radius of 3 feet and the smallest will have a radous of 2 feet. If kellys yard is 50 feet long by 25 feet wide and the snoww is 8 inches deep will she have enough snow to complete her masterpiece
+130516 Mmmm....this is an interesting one !!!
The volume of the snow needed for the snowman is given by :
(4/3)pi [ 5^3 + 3^3 + 2^3 ] = about 670 ft^3 of snow
The volume of snow in the yard is given by :
[ 50 ft * 25 ft * (2/3) ft ] = about 833.33 ft^3 of snow
Looks like there's more than enough......!!!!
