Math Problem Statement

What is the volume of this sphere? Use π ≈ 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hundredth. The radius is 10 mm.

Solution

To find the volume of the sphere, we use the formula:

V=43πr3V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

where:

  • π3.14\pi \approx 3.14
  • r=10mmr = 10 \, \text{mm}

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Cube the Radius: r3=103=1000r^3 = 10^3 = 1000

  2. Multiply by π\pi: πr3=3.14×1000=3140\pi r^3 = 3.14 \times 1000 = 3140

  3. Multiply by 43\frac{4}{3}: V=43×3140=4186.67V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3140 = 4186.67

So, the volume of the sphere is approximately 4186.67 cubic millimeters.

  1. What is the formula for the surface area of a sphere?
  2. How does the volume change if the radius doubles?
  3. Can you calculate the volume using a more precise value of π\pi?
  4. What is the relationship between radius and volume in a sphere?
  5. How would you solve for the radius if the volume is given?

Tip: Remember that for spheres, small changes in radius result in significant volume changes because of the r3r^3 relationship in the formula.
