Sphere Calculations
1. Calculate the surface area of a sphere with radius 6 cm.
The formula for the surface area of a sphere is $$4\pi r^2$$.
Substitute $r = 6$ cm:
$$4 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 6^2$$
$$= 4 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 36$$
$$= \frac{4 \times 22 \times 36}{7}$$
$$= \frac{3168}{7}$$
$$\approx 452.57 \text{ cm}^2$$
2. Calculate the curved surface area of a hemispherical bowl with radius 4.5 cm.
The curved surface area of a hemisphere is half the surface area of a sphere, which is:
$$2\pi r^2$$.
Substitute $r = 4.5$ cm:
$$2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 4.5^2$$
$$= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 20.25$$
$$= \frac{2 \times 22 \times 20.25}{7}$$
$$= \frac{891}{7}$$
$$= 127.29 \text{ cm}^2$$
3. Find the volume of a sphere with diameter 8 m.
First, find the radius: $$r = \frac{8}{2} = 4$$ m.
The volume formula for a sphere is:
$$\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$$.
Substitute $r = 4$ m:
$$\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 4^3$$
$$= \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 64$$
$$= \frac{4 \times 22 \times 64}{3 \times 7}$$
$$= \frac{5632}{21}$$
$$\approx 268.19 \text{ m}^3$$
