To the nearest whole number, what is the surface area of a sphere with a volume of 140 cm3?
we know that V= 4/3 pi r^3
So r^3= 140/ ((4/3) pi)= 33.422538
Hence r= 3.221166
SA = 4 pi r^2
= 4 pi 3.221166^2
= 130.39 cm^2
= 130 cm^2
Answer: \(130\ cm^2\)
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of sphere is given by :-
\(V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\), where r is radius of sphere.
Given : The volume of sphere = \(140\ cm^3\)
\(\Rightarrow\ 140=\dfrac{4}{3} (3.14) r^3\\\\\Rightarrow\ r^3=\dfrac{140\times3}{4\times (3.14)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ r^3=33.4394904459\approx33.44\)
Taking cube root on both sides , we get
\(r=\sqrt[3]{33.44}=3.22171078046\approx3.22\ cm\)
The surface area of sphere is given by :-
\(S.A=4\pi r^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ S.A.=4(3.14)(3.22)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ S.A.=130.227104\approx130\ cm^2\)
