Question
A globe of Earth is in the shape of a sphere with a radius of 14 inches. Find its a volume and b surface area.
Round the answers to the nearest hundredth.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Volume = 11488.21[/tex]

[tex]Area = 2461.76[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Radius, r = 14\ in[/tex]

Shape: Sphere

Solving (a): The Volume

This is calculated as:

[tex]Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

Take [tex]\pi[/tex] as 3.14 and substitute 14 for r

[tex]Volume = \frac{4}{3} * 3.14 * 14^3[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{4}{3} * 3.14 * 2744[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{4 * 3.14 * 2744}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{34464.64}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Volume = 11488.21[/tex]

Solving (b): The Surface Area

This is calculated as follows:

[tex]Area = 4\pi r^2[/tex]

Take [tex]\pi[/tex] as 3.14 and substitute 14 for r

[tex]Area = 4 * 3.14 * 14^2[/tex]

[tex]Area = 4 * 3.14 * 196[/tex]

[tex]Area = 2461.76[/tex]
