The volume of a sphere is 3,000 m.3. What is the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square meter?
Select one:
a. 2,158 m2
b. 37,699 m2
c. 165 m2
d. 1,018 m2

@haleyelizabeth2017 ; i thought this was A, bit it wasnt...
OpenStudy (gorv):
volume = \[\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\pi*r^3\]
OpenStudy (gorv):
find r from here
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
what is the sa formula again?
OpenStudy (gorv):
\[3000=\frac{ 4 }{ 3}*\pi*r^3\]

divide both side by \[\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }*\pi\]
OpenStudy (here_to_help15):
answer is 2158
how to do it below
formula is V=4/3*(pi*R^3)
so if v=3000 pi then
the Pi on both sides cancels out
so then
3000=4/3*r^3
multiply by reciprocal of 4/3 and get
2250=r^3
solve for radius (r)
13.103707=r
now plug it in to the surface area formula which is
sa=4*pi*r^2
sa=4*pi*171.707137
sa=pi*686.828548
sa= 2157.73552
round that up to 2158 for your answer of 2158 m^2
OpenStudy (here_to_help15):
this is what i got correct for this question
OpenStudy (here_to_help15):
i took this
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[4 \div 3\times \pi \times r \]

this is geometry correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
*r^3
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
thats volume...not sa....:/
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
isn't it like \(4\pi r^2\)?
OpenStudy (here_to_help15):
huh?

\(SA=4\pi r^2\) right??? I took geo last year so I need to refresh my memoery of the formulas.....
OpenStudy (gorv):
yeah ...so what will be its value ??

im confused to be honest...
OpenStudy (gorv):
do u have radius ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no i dont...
OpenStudy (gorv):
first u need radius to find surface area
OpenStudy (gorv):
we have volume so we will calculate it from volume

OpenStudy (anonymous):
how would i find the radius?
OpenStudy (gorv):
volume = (4/3)pi*r^3
OpenStudy (gorv):
3000=(4/3)*pi*r^3
OpenStudy (gorv):
right ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes.

OpenStudy (gorv):
divide both side by (4/3)pi
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so would it be 3000/ 4.18?...
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
3000/4/3=3000*3/4 so try it that way....dividing a fraction is like multiplying the reciprocal
OpenStudy (here_to_help15):
did i even help at all :/?

one second....would you like me to show you that step?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2250
OpenStudy (aum):
Can you double-check the first line in the question?
The volume of a sphere is 3,000 or 3000\(\pi\) ?
Because with 3000, none of the answer choices match.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
volume of a sphere is 3,000 m.3
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
because we need to solve for sa....

oh okay then ;/
OpenStudy (gorv):
|dw:1414003606851:dw|
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
so it will be \(716.20=r^3\) so we need to cube root......
OpenStudy (gorv):
|dw:1414003722876:dw|
OpenStudy (gorv):
yeah we need to cube root to find r

im getting 785
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
can you find that @boricua5? It is close to 9, but not quite....for r
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im SO confused!...
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
the answer for the sa isn't a choice...it's close. r=8.95 about
OpenStudy (aum):
If you round off 'r' to zero decimal places then you will get one of the answer choices. But if you don't round off the answer is off by about 12.

thats what happened to mine :( its 12 about more than one of the choices
