a sphere has a radius of 3 and a different sphere has a radius of 6. compare the ratio of the volume of the smaller sphere to the volume of the larger sphere.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the formula to find the volume of sphere? @Kinzol1234

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whoops @Kinzo1234

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, im not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sphereV= (4/3)(pi)(r^3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Vol=4 pi r*r*r/3=k r*r*r (k is a constant) r*2 --> Vol*8 --- 8 times the volume = 7 times larger Not 8 times larger. 8 times as large = 7 times larger.

im not sure how to get 8? when i add in 3 im getting a completly different number.

OpenStudy (dix123):

(4/3)(22/7)(27) : (4/3)(22/7)(198) (88/21)(27) : (88/21)(198) hope this helped

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r=3 and r1=6 volume of smaller one:volume of bigger one =4pi r *r*r/3 : 4pi r1*r1*r1/3 now cancel whatever got cancelled with eachother now we hvae left only=> r*r*r/r1*r1*r1 now put he values 3*3*3/6*6*6 1/8 i hope u got it now :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnx for medal :) @dix123

OpenStudy (dix123):

np @yashii it really was good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you this makes sense but if we can just cube the number how come there is a formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i only put the numbers in the mentioned formulae.

@dix123 :)
