4.5 Spheres a la Archimedes
Objectives ◦ Derive the formula for the volume of a sphere
Problem 1 Starting with Circles … and Cones
Sphere: Set of all points in three dimensions that are equidistant from a center point Radius of a Sphere: Segment drawn from the center of a sphere to any point on the sphere Diameter of a Sphere: Segment drawn connecting any two points on the circle passing through the center
Cross Section: The 2-D “Slice” when a plane passes through the object The cross section of a sphere is a circle Great Circle of a Sphere: A cross section when a plane passes through the center ◦ Longitude lines are great circles Hemisphere: Half of a sphere
Collaborate 1-2 (3 Minutes) Together #3 Annulus: The area between two concentric circles
Hemisphere: Half of a sphere Together: Volume of a Hemisphere
Remember The radius of the base is equal to the height h = r
