Answer

To find the diameter of a sphere we must use the equation for the volume of a sphere to find the radius which is half of the diameter.

The equation is

First we enter the volume into the equation yielding

We then divide each side by to get

We then multiply each side by to get

We then take the cubic root of each side to solve for the radius

The radius is

We then multiply the radius by 2 to find the diameter

Question

If the surface area of a sphere is $64\pi$ , find the diameter of this sphere.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The standard equation to find the surface area of a sphere is

$SA=4\pi $r^2$$ where denotes the radius. Rearrange this equation in terms of :

$r=$\sqrt{\frac{SA}{4\pi }$}$

Substitute the given surface area into this equation and solve for the radius and then double the radius to get the diameter:

$r=$\sqrt{\frac{64\Pi }{4\Pi }$}=$\sqrt{16}$=4$

$diameter=2\cdot r=2\cdot 4=8$

Answer

The standard equation to find the volume of a sphere is

$V=\frac{4}{3}$\pi $r^3$$ where denotes the radius. Rearrange this equation in terms of :

$r=\sqrt[3]{$\frac{3V}{4\pi }$}$

Substitute the given volume into this equation and solve for the radius. Double the radius to find the diameter:

$r=\sqrt[3]{$\frac{3V}{4\pi }$}=\sqrt[3]{$\frac{3\cdot 4\pi }{4\pi }$}=\sqrt[3]{$\frac{12\pi }{4\pi }$}=\sqrt[3]{3 }$

Question

A company wants to construct an advertising balloon spherical in shape. It can afford to buy 28,000 square meters of material to make the balloon. What is the largest possible diameter of this balloon (nearest whole meter)?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

This is equivalent to asking the diameter of a balloon with surface area 28,000 square meters.

The relationship between the surface area and the radius is:

$A=4\pi $r^{2}$$

To find the radius, substitute for the surface area, then solve:

$28,000=4\pi $r^{2}$$

$r=$\sqrt{\frac{28,000}{4\pi }$}\approx47$

To find the diameter , double the radius—this is 94.

Question

If the volume of a sphere is , what is the sphere's diameter?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Write the formula for the volume of a sphere:

$V=\frac{4}{3}$\pi $r^3$$

Plug in the volume and find the radius by solving for :

$2=\frac{4}{3}$\pi $r^3$$

Start solving for by multiplying both sides of the equation by :

$2\cdot3=\frac{4}{3}$\pi $r^3$\cdot3$

$6=4\pi $r^3$$

Now, divide each side of the equation by $4\pi$ :

$\frac{6}{4\pi}$=\frac{4\pi $r^3$}{4\pi}$

Reduce the left side of the equation:

Finally, take the cubed root of both sides of the equation:

$\sqrt[3]{$\frac{3}{2\pi}$}=r$

Keep in mind that you've solved for the radius, not the diameter. The diameter is double the radius, which is: $2\sqrt[3]{$\frac{3}{2\pi}$}$ .

Question

The circumference of a sphere is . Find the radius.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

If the circumference of a sphere is , that means we can easily solve for the diameter by using $C=\pi \cdot d$ . This is the equation to find the circumference.

By substituting in the value for circumference (), we can solve for the missing variable :

$84.823:in= \pi \cdot d$

$$\frac{84.823:in}{ \pi}$= d$

To find the radius of the sphere, we need to divide this value by :

$r=\frac{d}{2}$=\frac{27:in}{2}$=13.5:in$

Question

Find the diameter of a sphere with the volume listed below.

$V=288\pi$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

In order to solve, we must the given volume into the volume formula for a sphere.

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi(r^{3})$

$288\pi =\frac{4}{3}\pi(r^{3})$

Divide both sides by pi.

$288 =\frac{4}{3}\(r^{3})$

Multiply both sides by 3.

$216 =(r^{3})$

Take the cube root of both sides to find the radius.

Double the radius to get the diameter, diameter is 12.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Recall how to find the volume of a sphere:

$\text{Volume of Sphere}$=\frac{4}{3}$\pi $r^3$ , where is the radius of the sphere.

Now, since the radius is half the diameter, the equation for the volume of a sphere can be rewritten as thus:
