If the surface area of a sphere is 314 sq cm find its volume.

(Take π = 3.14)


Given that, surface area of sphere = 314 cm2

And we know that surface area of sphere is given by


Surface area = 4 πr2, r = radius of the sphere


r2 = Surface area/4π



r2 = (314)/(4 × 3.14)


r2 = 314/12.56


r2 = 25


r = √25 = 5


So, radius of the sphere = 5 cm


Volume of the sphere is given by


Volume = 4/3 πr3


Volume = 4/3 × 3.14 × 53


Volume = (4 × 3.14 × 5 × 5 × 5)/3


Volume = 1570/3


Volume = 523.33


Thus, volume of the sphere is 523.33 cm3.
