Do you know the formulas for the surface area and volume of a sphere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, SA is \[4*pi*r ^{2}\] and V is \[(4/3)*pi*r ^{3}\]

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

So problem (c) is straightforward. In (a), remember that the diameter is 2 times the radius. in (b), you are dealing with a half sphere so you must divide the total vol and area by 2 to get your answer. in (d) remember that you have to derive the radius from the circumference and then determine just like you did for (b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 267.95 for (a). Is that correct?

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

I assume your answer is for the volume of (a)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yes, I forgot the SA, I get 200.96 for the surface area. Are these the correct answers?

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

yep, depending on how you rounded

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

The approx answers for (a) could be expressed as SA = (4^3)pi = 64pi Vol = [(4^4)/3]pi = 85.33pi

Alright, thanks, I think I can do the rest now :)

great, good luck!
