1
Surface Area & Volume of Spheres Objective: 1) To find the surface area & volume of a sphere.
2
Spheres Sphere – The set of all points in space equidistant from a given point. Center r Radius – Is a segment that has one endpt @ the center & the other endpt on the sphere. Diameter – A segment passing through the center w/ both endpts on the sphere.
3
Great Circles Great Circle – A cross-section of a sphere that also contains the center of the sphere. –Circumference of the G. Circle = Circumference of the sphere. –A G. Circle divides the sphere into 2 hemisphere. –Any cross section (G. Circle) of the sphere is a circle.
4
Surface Area of a sphere r SA = 4 r 2 Radius of a sphere
5
Ex.1: SA of a sphere Find the surface area of a sphere w/ a diameter of 8m. SA = 4 r 2 = 4 (4) 2 = 4 (16) = 64 = 201.1m 2 4m
6
Ex.2: Circumference and SA The circumference of the Earth is 24,902miles. Find the Surface Area of the Earth. SA = 4 r 2 = 4 (3963) 2 = 197,387,018 miles 2 C = 2 r 24,902 = 2 r r = 3963 miles
7
Volume of a sphere V s = (4/3) r 3 Radius of a sphere r
8
Ex.3: Find the volume of the following sphere. 30m V s = (4/3) r 3 = (4/3) (15) 3 = (4/3) (3375) = 4500 = 14137m 3
9
Ex.4: SA & Volume The surface area of a sphere is 125in 2. Find its volume to the nearest whole number. SA = 4 r 2 125 = 4 r 2 r = 3.2in V s = (4/3) r 3 = (4/3) (3.2) 3 = (4/3) (31.4) = 43.7 = 137in 3
10
What have we learned?? V s = (4/3) r 3 Radius of a sphere r SA = 4 r 2
