A sphere with a diameter of 5 feet long is being painted. how much more paint would be needed to paint a sphere that has four ti
mes the diameter?
1 answer:
well, if the diameter is 5, thus its radius must be half that, or 2.5, and therefore, the radius of the one four times as much will be (4)(2.5).
Let's simply get their difference, since that'd be how much more is needed from the smaller to larger sphere.
