Question

What is the radius of a sphere with a volume of 1/6 pie

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{the\ radius\ R=\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a sphere:

$V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3$

We have

$V=\dfrac{1}{6}\pi$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3=\dfrac{1}{6}\pi$        divide both sides by π

$\dfrac{4}{3}R^3=\dfrac{1}{6}$          multiply both sides by 3

$3\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{4}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}R^3=3\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{1}{6\!\!\!\!\diagup_2}$

$4R^3=\dfrac{1}{2}$          divide both sides by 4

$R^3=\dfrac{1}{2}:4\\\\R^3=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\R^3=\dfrac{1}{8}\to R=\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{1}{8}}\\\\R=\dfrac{\sqrt1}{\sqrt8}\\\\R=\dfrac{1}{2}$
