To the nearest whole number, what is the surface area of a sphere with a volume of 140 cm³?

rjkz [21]

The answer to this question is B. 130cm^2.

Using the volume formula for a sphere (V = (4/3)πr^3) you can plug in the values that we know to find the radius to be around 3.22117 cm. You can then use the area of a sphere formula (A = 4πr^2) to find the area. Hope this helps :)

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The number of pages had Clint read prior to study hall were 127 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Clint after 20 minutes is on page 151.

And, after 45 minutes he is on page 181.

Now, to find the pages Clint read prior to study hall.

The time difference = 45 minutes - 20 minutes.

= 25 minutes.

Difference between the pages = 181 - 151

= 30 pages.

If Clint is reading each page at same speed.

Then, in 25 minutes he can read = 30 pages.

So, in 1 minute he can read = 30 ÷ 25 = 1.2 pages.

Thus, in 20 minutes he can read $=1.2\times 20$

$=24 pages.$

Now, number of pages Clint had read prior to study hall = 151 - 24

= 127 pages.

Therefore, the number of pages had Clint read prior to study hall were 127 pages.
