Problem Statement • Given: No Givens • Find: The number of basketballs required to fill this room.
Method and Approach • Determined room volume estimate • Determined volume of basketball • Manipulated volumes to give number of basketballs
Assumptions • Volume of Basketball = 1ft3 • Room dimensions = 30ft x 60ft x 10ft • Determined using tiles on floor with a size assumption of 2ft x 2ft • Height determined using estimate based on personal height
Solution • Vol. 30ft*60ft*10ft= 18000ft3 • Number of Basketballs • = 18000ft3 / 1ft3= 18000 Basketballs
