Example Question #11 : How To Find The Volume Of A Sphere

A sphere is cut in half as shown by the figure below.

1

If the radius of the sphere is \(\displaystyle 6\), what is the volume of the figure?

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 446.13\)

\(\displaystyle 452.39\)

\(\displaystyle 458.87\)

\(\displaystyle 421.20\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 452.39\)

Explanation:

Recall how to find the volume of a sphere:

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Sphere}=\frac{4}{3}\pi\times\text{radius}^3\)

Now since we only have half a sphere, divide the volume by \(\displaystyle 2\).

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Figure}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{4}{3}\pi\times\text{radius})^2\)

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Figure}=\frac{2}{3}\pi\times\text{radius}^3\)

Plug in the given radius to find the volume of the figure.

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Figure}=\frac{2}{3}\pi(6)^3=144\pi=452.39\)

Make sure to round to \(\displaystyle 2\) places after the decimal.

1

Find the volume of the figure.

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 1824.50\)

\(\displaystyle 1811.21\)

\(\displaystyle 1809.56\)

\(\displaystyle 1804.26\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 1809.56\)

Explanation:

13

In order to find the volume of the figure, we will first need to find the volumes of the cylinder and of the half sphere.

Recall how to find the volume of a cylinder:

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Cylinder}=\pi\times\text{radius}^2\times\text{height}\)

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Cylinder}=\pi\times 6^2 \times 12=432 \pi\)

Next, find the volume of the half sphere.

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Half sphere}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{4}{3}\pi\times\text{radius}^3)=\frac{2}{3}\pi\times\text{radius}^3\)

Plug in the radius to find the volume of the half sphere.

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Half Sphere}=\frac{2}{3}\times\pi\times 6^3=144\pi\)

Next, add up the two volumes together to find the volume of the figure.

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Figure}=\text{Volume of Half Sphere}+\text{Volume of Cylinder}\)

\(\displaystyle \text{Volume of Figure}=432\pi + 144\pi=576\pi=1809.56\)
