Example 1
A marine biologist measures the volume of a roughly spherical piece of coral by submerging it in a container of seawater of known volume. The coral displaces a volume of cubic meters of seawater. What is the radius of the coral? The function for the volume of the coral is given by , where is the radius of the sphere.
- Determine the value of .
- Rewrite the result of step 1 in the context of the problem.
