a sphere is inscribed in a rectangular solid 5cm in length, 4cm width, and 3cm in height. Another sphere of the same volume is also inscribed in a cube. Find the volume of the cube

v= l*w*h

5*4*3=??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do 4/3 *1.5^3*pi. what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14.14?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get 1.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

half of the height of the rectangle, to make a radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the cube should be perfectly edged with the sphere. so from one side to the other of the cube, it would be 3. knowing a cube has all equal edges, all of them equal 3. so 3*3*3 would get you your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rectangular solid is same with a cube?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. the rectangular solid has a different volume of the cube i believe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont worry, i kind of am too without a picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

id honestly have to see a picture to understand what the measurement of the radius is of the sphere

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there's no given picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know

OpenStudy (anonymous):
