Question

If the volume of a sphere is $120\ $ft^{3}$$ , what is the approximate length of its diameter?

$V=\frac{4}{3}$\pi $r^{3}$$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The correct answer is 6.12 ft.

Plug the value of into the equation so that

$120=\frac{4}{3}$\pi $r^{3}$$

Multiply both sides by 3 to get

$360=4\pi $r^{3}$$

Then divide both sides by $4\pi$ to get

Then take the 3rd root of both sides to get 3.06 ft for the radius. Finally, you have to multiply by 2 on both sides to get the diameter. Thus

Answer

The formula for the volume of a sphere is: $$\frac{4}{3}$ \pi $r^3$ = V$

The only given information in the problem is the sphere's final volume. If the volume is , the formula for volume can be used to calculate the sphere's radius.

In this case, , the radius, is the only unknown variable that needs to be solved for.

$$\frac{4}{3}$ \pi $r^3$ = 57$

$\frac{3}{4}$\cdot $\frac{1}{\pi}$\cdot$\frac{4}{3}$ \pi $r^3$ = 57 \cdot$\frac{3}{4}$\cdot $\frac{1}{\pi}$

$r=\sqrt[3]{13.608}$

Question

The area of a sphere is . What is its radius?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The only information given is the area of .

This problem may be approached "backwards," where the area formula for a sphere can be used to solve for the radius. This is possible because the formula for area is $Area = 4 \cdot \pi \cdot $r^2$$ , where (the radius) is what we're looking for. After is substituted in for the area, the goal is to solve for by getting it by itself on one side of the equals sign.

$87=4 \cdot \pi \cdot $r^2$$

$\frac{87}{4\cdot\pi}$=\frac{4 \cdot \pi \cdot $r^2$}{4\cdot\pi}$

$$\sqrt{\frac{87}{4 \cdot \pi}$} = $$\sqrt{r^2$}$ = r$

Question

If the volume of a sphere is , what is the sphere's exact radius?

Answer

Write the formula for the volume of a sphere:

$V=\frac{4}{3}$\pi $r^3$$

Plug in the given volume and solve for the radius, .

$1=\frac{4}{3}$\pi $r^3$$

Start by multiplying each side of the equation by $\frac{3}{4}$ :

$\frac{3}{4}$\cdot1=\frac{4}{3}$\pi $r^3$\cdot$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{3}{4}$=\pi $r^3$

Now, divide each side of the equation by $\pi$ :

$$\frac{3}{4}$\div\pi=\pi $r^3$\div\pi$

Finally, take the cubed root of each side of the equation:

$r=\sqrt[3]{$\frac{3}{4\pi}$}$
