A chocolatier makes chocolate covered cherries in the form of spheres. Amelia
measures the outer diameter of these chocolates to be 2.8 cm. If she measures the
thickness of the chocolate to be 0.5 cm, how much chocolate is used in one of the
chocolate covered cherries? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth if
necessary. (Note: diagram is not drawn to scale.)

The volume of the chocolate is the amount of choclate used in the cherries

The amount of chocolate used is 17.24 cubic centimeters

How to determine the amoumt of chocolate?

Start by calculating the volume of the cherries using:

V = 4/3 π(D/2)^3

The diameter of the cherry is 2.8 cm.

So, we have:

V = 4/3π(2.8/2)^3

Evaluate

V = 11.49

Next, calculate the volume of the cherry and the chocolate.

V = 4/3π(0.5+2.8/2)^3

V = 28.73

Calculate the difference (d) between both volumes

d = 28.73 - 11.49

d = 17.24

Hence, the amount of chocolate used is 17.24 cubic centimeters
