This is a word problem...and i am..horrible at word problems but this one is reallyyyyy confusing.

 

Spaceship Earth,the large geodesic structure at Epcot Center in Walt Disney World,has a volume of 2,350,000ft^3. An architect wants to build a spherical replica with the same volume,and call it Spaceship Venus

 

Write the prime factorization of Spaceship Venus using exponential notation.

 

And you don't have to give me the answer but could you like break down the steps because this is super confusing and part B is also

 

Part B 

Find the approximate radius of Spaceship Venus.Use 3.14 for pi (Hint:The volume V of a sphere with radius r is given by formula V = 4/3pi r^3

A)  2,350,000 = 2^4 * 5^5 * 47

 

B) 2,350,000 / [3.14 .4/3] =561,305.73 ft^3

[561,305.73]^1/3 =82.49 feet - the radius od the Spaceship Venus.
