Question

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 50 feet cubed. A cylinder with height h and radius r. A cylinder with height h and radius r. What is the volume of the sphere?

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of the sphere is 66.67r/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Volume of a sphere = ⁴/₃πr³

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

The volume of the cylinder = 50ft³

But the cylinder and sphere both have the same radius and height

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

50 = πr²h

Make r² the subject of formula

r² = 50/πh

Volume of a sphere = ⁴/₃πr³

Put r² into the volume of a sphere

Volume of a sphere = ⁴/₃π(50/πh)r

Volume of a sphere = ⁴/₃ × 50r/h

Volume of a sphere = ²⁰⁰/₃ r/h

Volume of a sphere = 66.67r/h

The volume of the sphere is 66.67r/h
