3.4c:Surface Area and Volume of Spheres
CCSS: GSE’s M(G&M)–10–6 Solves problems involving perimeter, circumference, or area of two dimensional figures (including composite figures) or surface area or volume of three
2
Finding the Surface Area of a Sphere
Sphere- all of the points in space that are the same distance from a point. How is this different from a circle?
3
Finding the Surface Area of a Sphere
A chord of a sphere is a segment whose endpoints are on the sphere.
4
Surface Area of a Sphere
The surface area of a sphere with radius r is S = 4r2.
5
Finding the Surface Area of a Sphere
Find the surface area. When the radius doubles, does the surface area double?
6
S = 4r2 = 422 = 16 in.2 S = 4r2 = 442 = 64 in.2
The surface area of the sphere in part (b) is four times greater than the surface area of the sphere in part (a) because 16 • 4 = 64 So, when the radius of a sphere doubles, the surface area DOES NOT double.
7
More . . . If a plane intersects a sphere, the intersection is either a single point or a circle. If the plane contains the center of the sphere, then the intersection is a great circle of the sphere. Every great circle of a sphere separates a sphere into two congruent halves called hemispheres.
8
Ex. 2: Using a Great Circle
The circumference of a great circle of a sphere is 13.8 feet. What is the surface area of the sphere?
9
Solution: Begin by finding the radius of the sphere. C = 2r
13.8 2r 6.9 = r = r
10
Solution: Using a radius of 6.9 feet, the surface area is: S = 4r2
= 4(6.9)2 = ft.2 So, the surface area of the sphere is ft.2
11
Theorem Volume of a Sphere
The volume of a sphere with radius r is V = 3
12
Find the Volume of a sphere with a radius of 5 in.
13
Find the total surface area and Volume
14
The circumference of the cone is 3 inches
The cone is completely packed with Ice cream, and there is exactly half a scoop on top. Find how much ice cream you will receive.
