The depth D that a sphere of radius R would need to be filled to be P percent filled can be calculated using the formula D3 + 3RD? = 4PR. What would the depth need to be if the sphere has a radius of 10 feet and you want the sphere to be 39 percent full? Substitute your percentage as a decimal in for P. Type your answer to the %3D nearest hundredth of a foot. Give your answer to two decimal places.
