A sphere has a volume of 6

Calculate the radius, diameter, and surface area.

Calculate radius (r):

V  =  4πr3
  3

Cross Multiply the 3

3V = 4πr3

Divide each side by 4π

3V
=
  
4πr3

Cancel 4π from each side

r3  =  3V
  

r3  =  3 * 6
  4(3.1415926535898)

r3  =  18
  12.566370614359

r3 = 1.4323944878271

Take the 1/3 root of both sides

r = (1.4323944878271)1/3

r = 1.1272516517868

Calculate diameter (d):

d = 2r

d = 2 * 1.1272516517868

d = 2.2545033035737

Calculate Surface Area (A):

SA = 4πr2

SA = 4π * 1.12725165178682

SA = 4π * 1.2706962864561

A = 5.0828π or 15.9681

Final Answers


V = 6
r = 1.1272516517868
d = 2.2545033035737
A = 5.0828π or 15.9681
