Using a Calculator • You may find it easier to use the formula for volume in this form:
2 Example Find the Surface Area and the Volume of a sphere with a radius of 2.
Problem 1 • A snowman is made with three spheres. The largest has a diameter of 24 inches, the next largest has a diameter of 20 inches, and the smallest has a diameter of 16 inches. Find the volume of the snowman.
Problem 1 Solution • A snowman is made with three spheres. The largest has a diameter of 24 inches, the next largest has a diameter of 20 inches, and the smallest has a diameter of 16 inches. Find the volume of the snowman. • The radii are 12 in, 10 in, and 8 in.
Problem 1 Solution • The radii are 12 in, 10 in, and 8 in. 13,571.68 cu in
Problem 2 This is a grain silo, as found on many farms. They are used to store feed grain and other materials. They are usually cylindrical with a hemispherical top. Assume that the concrete part has a height of 50 feet, and the diameter of the cylinder is 18 feet. Find the volume of the silo.
Problem 2 Solution Volume of Cylinder V = r2h V = (92)(50) V = 81 50 V = 4050 V 12723.5 cu. ft. 18 50 9
Problem 2 Solution Volume of Hemisphere 18 50 9 This is the volume of a sphere. The volume of the hemisphere is half of this value, which is 1526.8 cu. ft.
Problem 2 Solution Volume of Cylinder 12723.5 Volume of Hemisphere 1526.8 Total Volume 12723.5 + 1526.8 = 14250.3 cu. ft. 18 50 9
Problem 2 Extension Total Volume =14250.3 cu. ft. One bushel contains 1.244 cubic feet. How many bushels are in the silo? 14250.3 1.244 = 11455.2 bushels
Problem 3 Skip A sphere is inscribed inside a cube which measures 6 in. on a side. What is the ratio of the volume of the sphere to the volume of the cube?
Problem 3 Solution Volume of the Cube: 6 6 6 = 216 cu in Radius of the Sphere: 3 in. Volume of the Sphere: 6 6 3 6
Problem 3 Solution Volume of the Cube: 216 cu in Volume of the Sphere: 36 Ratio of Volume of Sphere to Volume of Cube 6 6 3 6
Problem 4 A mad scientist makes a potion in a full spherical flask which has a diameter of 4 inches. To drink it, he pours it into a cylindrical cup with a diameter of 3.5 inches and is 3.5 inches high. Will the potion fit into the cup? If not, how much is left in the flask? Skip
Problem 4 Solution Flask Volume: Diameter = 4 inches Radius = 2 inches
Problem 4 Solution 33.5 cu in Cup Volume: Diameter = 3.5 inches Radius = 1.75 inches Height = 3.5 inches
Problem 4 Solution 33.5 cu in 33.7 cu in The flask holds 33.5 cu in. The cup holds 33.7 cu in. Yes, the potion fits into the cup.
Problem 5 Skip The surface area of a sphere is 300 cm2. Find: • Its radius, • The circumference of a great circle, • Its volume.
Summary • A sphere is the set of points in space equidistant from a center. • A hemisphere is half of a sphere. • A great circle is the largest circle that can be drawn on a sphere. The diameter of a great circle equals the diameter of the sphere.
