diameter of 7 feet" width="2500" height="2500" />
Therefore, the volume of the sphere is approximately [latex]179.595[/latex] [latex]\text^3[/latex].
Problem 6: Find the volume of a sphere whose diameter is [latex]10.5[/latex] centimeters. Use [latex]\pi=22/7[/latex]. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, the volume of the sphere is approximately [latex]606[/latex] [latex]\text^3[/latex].
Problem 7: The volume of the sphere is [latex]3,719[/latex] cubic kilometers. What is the radius of the sphere? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Use [latex]\pi=3.14[/latex].
Therefore, the radius of the sphere is [latex]9.61[/latex] [latex]\text[/latex].
Problem 8: Given that the volume of the sphere is [latex]1,000[/latex] cubic inches. Calculate its radius. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Use [latex]\pi=22/7[/latex].
Therefore, the radius of the sphere is [latex]6.2[/latex] [latex]\text[/latex].
Problem 9: The surface area of a sphere is [latex]5,544[/latex] [latex]\text^2[/latex]. Find the volume of the sphere. Use [latex]\pi=22/7[/latex] as an approximation.
Find the radius of the sphere using the surface area formula.
\begin SA &= 4\pi \\ \\ 5,544 &= 4\left( \over 7>> \right) \\ \\ 5,544\left( 7 \right) &= 4\left( \right) \\ \\ 38,808 &= 88 \\ \\ \over > &= \\ \\ 441 &= \\ \\ \sqrt &= r \\ \\ 21 &= r \\ \\ \end
That means, the radius of the sphere is [latex]21[/latex] [latex]\text[/latex].
Use the radius from previous step to determine the volume of the sphere.
Therefore, the volume of the sphere is [latex]38,808[/latex] [latex]\text^3[/latex].
Problem 10: If the surface area of a sphere is [latex]9,856[/latex] [latex]\text^2[/latex], what is its volume? Round you answer to one decimal place. Use [latex]\pi=22/7[/latex] as an approximation.
Answer \begin SA &= 4\pi \\ \\ 9,856 &= 4\left( \over 7>> \right) \\ \\ 9,856\left( 7 \right) &= 4\left( \right) \\ \\ 68,992 &= 88 \\ \\ \over > &= \\ \\ 784 &= \\ \\ \sqrt &= r \\ \\ 28 &= r \end
That means the radius of the sphere is [latex]28[/latex] [latex]\text[/latex].
Now use the value of the radius to calculate the volume of the sphere.
Therefore, the volume of the sphere is [latex]91,989.3[/latex] [latex]\text^3[/latex].
