A sphere’s volume and surface area are given by the following equations:


Volume of a sphere =
4
3
πr3
Surface area of a sphere = 4πr2



A blue sphere has a diameter of 4 inches, while a red sphere is half as big with a diameter of 2 inches.

1. Calculate the volume of the blue sphere in terms of inches cubed (in3), which are the correct units (note, give the answer to the nearest whole number and don't write the units).

2. Calculate the volume of the red sphere in terms of inches cubed (in3), which are the correct units (note, give the answer to the nearest whole number and don't write the units).

3.Calculate the surface area of the blue sphere in terms of inches squared (in2), which are the correct units (note, give the answer to the nearest whole number and don't write the units).

4.Calculate the surface area of the red sphere in terms of inches squared (in2), which are the correct units (note, give the answer to the nearest whole number and don't write the units).

Respuesta :

The following mentioned are the measurements -

  • volume of the blue sphere = 33.51 cubic inches.
  • volume of the red sphere = 4.18 cubic inches.
  • surface area of the blue sphere = 50.26 square inches.
  • surface area of the red sphere =  12.57 square inches.

We have a blue sphere with a diameter of 4 inches and a red sphere which is half as big with a diameter of 2 inches

We have to find the -

  • Calculate the volume of the blue sphere in terms of inches cubed.
  • Calculate the volume of the red sphere in terms of inches cubed.
  • Calculate the surface area of the blue sphere in terms of inches squared.
  • Calculate the surface area of the red sphere in terms of inches squared.

A sphere is a _____ dimensional figure whereas a surface is a _____ dimensional figure. Fill the blanks with correct answer.

A sphere is a three dimensional figure whereas a surface is a two dimensional figure.

According to the question -

Radius of blue sphere = 4 / 2 = 2 inches

Radius of red sphere = 2 / 2 = 1 inches

  • The volume of the blue sphere will be -  [tex]\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{3} \pi \times(2)^{3}[/tex] =  33.51 cubic inches.
  • The volume of the red sphere will be -  [tex]\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{3} \pi \times(1)^{3}[/tex] = 4.18 cubic inches.
  • The surface area of the blue sphere - [tex]4\pi r^{2}[/tex] = 4[tex]\pi[/tex] x [tex](2)^{2}[/tex] = 50.26 square inches.
  • The surface area of the red sphere - [tex]4\pi r^{2}[/tex] = 4[tex]\pi[/tex] x [tex](1)^{2}[/tex] = 12.57 square inches.

Hence,

  • volume of the blue sphere = 33.51 cubic inches.
  • volume of the red sphere = 4.18 cubic inches.
  • surface area of the blue sphere = 50.26 square inches.
  • surface area of the red sphere =  12.57 square inches.
