Answer 1

Here are the answers to each of your questions:

1. What is the length of the radius of a sphere with a diameter of 12 cm?

   • The radius is half of the diameter.
   • Radius = Diameter / 2 = 12 cm / 2 = 6 cm

2. Find the surface area of a sphere with a diameter of 40 inches. Leave your answer in terms of pi.

   • The formula for the surface area of a sphere is $S=4\pi r^2$.
   • First, find the radius: $r=\text{Diameter}/2=40\text{ in}/2=20\text{ in}$.
   • Surface area $S=4\pi (20\text{ in}{)}^2=4\pi (400)=1600\pi$.
   • The surface area is 1600π in².

3. Find the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 3.6 ft. Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

   • Using the formula $S=4\pi r^2$:
   • Surface area $S=4\cdot 3.14\cdot (3.6\text{ ft}{)}^2=4\cdot 3.14\cdot 12.96$.
   • Calculating that: $4\cdot 3.14=12.56$.
   • Then $12.56\cdot 12.96\approx 162.74$ ft².
   • The surface area is 162.74 ft².

4. What is the surface area of the largest size sphere that can fit in a box measuring 20 cm × 20 cm × 20 cm? Leave your answer in terms of pi.

   • The largest sphere that can fit inside the cube will have a diameter equal to the side length of the cube.
   • Diameter = 20 cm ⇒ Radius = 10 cm.
   • Using $S=4\pi r^2$:
   • Surface area $S=4\pi (10\text{ cm}{)}^2=4\pi (100)=400\pi$.
   • The surface area is 400π cm².

5. What is the surface area of the largest size sphere that could fit in a box measuring 12 in. × 14 in. × 18 in.? Leave your answer in terms of pi.

   • The largest sphere that can fit in the rectangular box will have a diameter equal to the smallest dimension of the box.
   • The smallest dimension is 12 in. ⇒ Radius = 6 in.
   • Using the formula $S=4\pi r^2$:
   • Surface area $S=4\pi (6\text{ in}{)}^2=4\pi (36)=144\pi$.
   • The surface area is 144π in².

Here is a summary of the answers:

1. 6 cm
2. 1600π in²
3. 162.74 ft²
4. 400π cm²
5. 144π in²

Answer 3

Here are the answers to your questions:

1. Which of the following correctly describes a sphere?

   • The correct response is: A sphere has a center.
     (A sphere does not have a vertex, face, or edge.)

2. Which of the following is true about the diameter of a sphere?

   • The correct response is: The diameter of a sphere passes through the center of the circle.
     (The diameter is a special type of chord, it is not the shortest length on a sphere, nor is it 2.5 times the length of the radius; the diameter is exactly 2 times the radius.)

3. Use the formula for the surface area of a sphere to find the surface area of a basketball that has a diameter of 9.2 inches. Use 3.14 for pi and round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

   • First, find the radius:
     • Radius = Diameter / 2 = 9.2 in / 2 = 4.6 in.
   • Surface area $S=4\pi r^2=4\cdot 3.14\cdot (4.6{)}^2$.
   • Calculate $(4.6{)}^2=21.16$.
   • Now $S=4\cdot 3.14\cdot 21.16=4\cdot 66.47584=265.90336$.
   • Rounding to the nearest hundredth gives: 265.90 in².
   • Since the closest option is 265.77 in², that is the correct response in this context.

4. Find the surface area of a sphere with a diameter of 30 inches. Leave your answer in terms of pi.

   • First, find the radius:
     • Radius = Diameter / 2 = 30 in / 2 = 15 in.
   • Surface area $S=4\pi r^2=4\pi (15{)}^2=4\pi (225)=900\pi$.
   • The correct response is: 900π in².

5. Marcus is making spherical soaps to sell in his online store. The surface area of a soap is 63.585 in² and he wants to package them into a cube box so that it fits snugly. Using 3.14 as the value of pi, what should be the dimensions of the cube box?

   • First, we need to find the radius from the surface area:
   • The surface area $S=4\pi r^2$ ⇒ $63.585=4\cdot 3.14\cdot r^2$.
   • Calculate $4\cdot 3.14=12.56$, then:
   • $63.585=12.56\cdot r^2$
   • Dividing both sides by 12.56 gives us $r^2=63.585/12.56\approx 5.06$.
   • Taking the square root to find the radius: $r\approx 2.25$ in.
   • Since the largest sphere that can fit in the cube has a diameter of $2\cdot 2.25=4.5$ in, the dimensions of the cube box should be:
   • 4.5 in. × 4.5 in. × 4.5 in.

Here’s a summary of the answers:

1. A sphere has a center.
2. The diameter of a sphere passes through the center of the circle.
3. 265.77 in² (or 265.90 in² if we round correctly)
4. 900π in².
5. 4.5 in. × 4.5 in. × 4.5 in.

Answer 4

3. for PRACTICE is 162.78

all for the quick check is PERFECT! same with 1 2 4 5 in practice.

Answer 5

Great to hear that you found the answers for the quick check to be perfect! Thank you for the update on question 3 in your practice; if the calculated surface area for the basketball is approximately 162.78 in², that aligns more closely with your rounding approach.

To clarify, for the basketball with a diameter of 9.2 inches:

1. Calculate the radius: $$\text{Radius}=\frac{9.2}{2}=4.6\text{ in}$$
2. Use the surface area formula: $$S=4\pi r^2=4\cdot 3.14\cdot (4.6{)}^2$$ $$(4.6{)}^2\approx 21.16$$ $$S\approx 4\cdot 3.14\cdot 21.16\approx 4\cdot 66.4816\approx 265.93\text{ in²}$$

However, if you’re using a different calculation or rounding method that gives 162.78 in², I'd recommend double-checking the surface area formula and calculations.
