Question

What is the surface area of a sphere if the volume is 3000 pi

Answer 1

Answer:

228.95 cm2 / 229 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere is given by;

V = (4/3)πr3

So in this question we have to find the radius of the sphere to enable us find the surface area.

Therefore let's find the radius using the volume formula;

3000π = (4/3)πr3

Divide through by (4/3)π

r3 = 2250

r =3√2250 (cube root of 2250)

r = 13.104cm2

Since we have gotten the radius, let's calculate the surface area using the formula;

A = (4/3)πr^2

= (4/3) × π × 13.104^2

= 228.95 π cm2 or 229 cm2
