Spheres and Cylinders Volume
A sphere is made out of clay and is placed in a cylinder. The diameter of the sphere is the same as the height and diameter of the cylinder.
Suppose the height of the cylinder is 2 inches tall. What do you think is the height of the clay (X) and of the empty space (Y) created by the clay? Y 2 inches X X = 2 inches. Y = 2 inches.
Find the volume of the cylinder and the sphere. Remember: The Volume of a Cylinder is V=Bh. The Area of a Circle is A=. Volume of the Cylinder = 6.28 inches cubed 2 inches Volume of the Sphere = 4.1762 inches cubed
Find the volume of the sphere using the volume formula. V= 2 inches 4.1762 in3
Practice • A playground ball has a diameter of 18 cm. • Find the volume of the ball. • If you created a cylinder that fits around the playground ball, find the volume and surface area of the cylinder.
