The volume of a sphere is 4000 π m^3. What is the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square meter?

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

@Hero @amistre64

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

okay so after a few minutes of research on the inter net, i finally got it... so since you know the volume which is 4000π, you have to divide that by 4π

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

hello?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

volume = 4/3 pi r^3 surface area = 4 pi r^2

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

@amistre64 isn't it v/4π then multiply that by 3 and find the cube root of the final answer?

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

So it would be 3,836 m^2?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thats just r i beleive

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

nope...lemme break it up this way \[4000/4π\] which equal 1000 then multiply that by 3 which would be 3000 then find the cube root of 3000

OpenStudy (amistre64):

volume = 4/3 pi r^3 3 volume = 4 pi r^3 3 volume/(4pi) = r^3 (3 volume/(4pi))^(2/3) = r^2 sooo 4pi (3 volume/(4pi))^(2/3)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

1 - 2/3 = 1/3 soo 3 volume cbrt(4pi) = sa

OpenStudy (amistre64):

dropped an exponent

OpenStudy (amistre64):

cbrt[(3 volume)^2] cbrt(4pi) = sa cbrt[4pi (3 volume)^2] = sa

OpenStudy (amistre64):

personally id step it out 4000 pi = 4/3 pi r^3 12000 pi = 4 pi r^3 12000 = 4 r^3 3000 = r^3 cbrt(3000) = r ................................... sa = 4pi [cbrt(3000)]^2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

both ways gets me the same result ... i just feel more comfortable working it steped

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

So the answer is 3,836.....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

not from my calculations

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

Then 2,614 m^2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thats more closer to what ive got yes

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

Okay, thank you! :)
