We have been given that a sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 21 meters cubed. We are asked to find the volume of the sphere.
We know that height of sphere is equal to its radius. This means that .
Using , we will get:
Upon comparing volume of sphere and volume of cylinder, we can see that volume of sphere is times volume of cylinder.
Therefore, the volume of the sphere would be 28 cubic meters.
Answer:
Use the Pythagorean theorem
Step-by-step explanation:
The pythagorean theorem is where a is a height, b is a height, and c is the hypotenuse, which is the longest side of a triangle. For example, if the triangle has two side with lengths of three and four we would put them into the equation to get:
Simplify the equation to get:
Add 16 and 9 to get 25 and take the square root of both sides:
The sqrt of 25 is 5. Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse, or c, is 5.
