To find the volume of a sphere , you use the formula:
V=43πr3V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3V=34πr3
Explanation:
- V is the volume of the sphere.
- r is the radius of the sphere.
- π (pi) is approximately 3.14159.
Steps to find the volume:
- Measure the radius (r) of the sphere.
- Cube the radius: r3=r×r×rr^3=r\times r\times rr3=r×r×r.
- Multiply by π\pi π.
- Multiply by 43\frac{4}{3}34.
Example:
If the radius of a sphere is 3 units:
V=43×π×33=43×π×27=36π≈113.1 cubic unitsV=\frac{4}{3}\times \pi \times 3^3=\frac{4}{3}\times \pi \times 27=36\pi \approx 113.1\text{ cubic units}V=34×π×33=34×π×27=36π≈113.1 cubic units
