Could somebody please help me with finding the radius please ? ?

OpenStudy (agent47):

could you post the actual question please ? ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Radius of what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a sphere please ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2+y^2 =1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nancy_Lam , not to nit-pick but that's the equation of a unit circle, meaning it has a fixed radius of 1. You're very close. \[x^2+y^2=radius^2\] For a sphere however it's different altogether because it's 3D: \[(x - h)^2 + (y - j)^2 + (z - k)^2 = radius^2 \] This is with center (h,j,k), which is (0,0,0) if centered on the origin, and (x,y,z) is a point on the surface of the sphere.

Does this help resolve your question @sexygirl12? :-)

|dw:1340047343762:dw|um...?? idk the question is use the formulas below to find the radius of a sphere with the given surface area:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@agentx5 it also helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge Area_{suface} = 4\pi r^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but im not sure if that evolves around my answer because im not sure if my answer is right , i got 8inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.....???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@agentx5 are you there??? :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you given the area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Agent47 said it best, post the question please, the whole question. What are you given? What are you asked to find?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formulas I gave you will allow you to find the sphere's surface area or radius, or give you the equation for a sphere based on it's center and radius.
