Nnesha (nnesha):

am i right ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A sphere has the same shape as a circle except that the circle is 2D while the sphere is 3D. So you would have to rotate the circle in both directions to get a sphere.

OpenStudy (agreene):

yes, assuming it is centred at the origin... but really, you can rotate a circle across any diameter as the axis of rotation and get a sphere

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its A.

OpenStudy (agreene):

As i said, any diameter, check the picture and give it a think |dw:1407453910252:dw|

Nnesha (nnesha):

i also think its A

OpenStudy (agreene):

using a line above/below/beside a circle would create a torus

OpenStudy (agreene):

it indeed, is A

OpenStudy (agreene):

that would be correct.

Nnesha (nnesha):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Soooo. Just to add some more detail to this discussion I don't recommend using A and B as it may confuse us further when we see x and y. Also rotating any circle along the x or y axis will produce a sphere. More generally a sphere can be produced my rotating any circle across any axis
