Q1 of 32 Page 123

Find the surface areas and volumes of spheres of the following radii.

i. 4 cm ii. 9 cm


iii. 3.5 cm. (π = 3.14)

(i). When radius (r) = 4 cm

Surface area of the sphere is given by,


Surface area = 4πr2


Surface area = 4 × 3.14 × 42


Surface area = 200.96


Volume of the sphere is given by,


Volume =


Volume =


Volume = 267.95


Thus, surface area of sphere is 200.96 cm2 and volume of sphere is 267.95 cm3.


(ii). When radius (r) = 9 cm


Surface area of the sphere is given by,


Surface area = 4πr2


Surface area = 4 × 3.14 × 92


Surface area = 1017.36


Volume of the sphere is given by,


Volume =


Volume =


Volume = 3052.08


Thus, surface area of sphere is 1018.29 cm2 and volume of sphere is 3052.08 cm3.


(iii). When radius (r) = 3.5 cm


Surface area of the sphere is given by,


Surface area = 4πr2


Surface area = 4 × 3.14 × 3.52


Surface area = 153.86


Volume of the sphere is given by,


Volume =


Volume =


Volume = 179.50


Thus, surface area of sphere is 153.86 cm2 and volume of sphere is 179.50 cm3.
