Step-by-step explanation:

radius of sphere, rs

radius of cylinder, rc

height of cylinder, h

given: h = rs = rc =r..eq1

volume of cylinder, vc = 27pi ft...eq2

volume of cylinder, vc = pi × rc^2 × h...eq3

volume of sphere, vs = 4/3(pi×rs^3)...eq4

subst for h & rs from eqn 1 in eqn 3...

vc = pi x r^2 x r= pi x r^3...eqn 5

subst for vc from eqn 2 in eqn 5...

=> 27 pi ft = pi x r^3

=> 27 = r^3

=> r = 3ft...eqn 6

subst for rs from eqn 1 in eqn 4

vs = 4/3 (pi x r^3)...eqn7

subst for pi x r^3 from eqn 5 in eqn 7

vs = 4/3 vc = 4/3 (27pi ft) = 36 pi ft
