Formula for a sphere

Mensuration of Class 8

SPHERE

Objects like a football, a cricket ball, etc., are said to have the shape of a sphere.

FORMULAE For a sphere of radius r, we have

  • Volume of sphere cubic units

     

  • Surface area of the sphere = sq units

     


HEMISPHERE A plane through the centre of a sphere cuts it into two equal parts. Each part is called a hemisphere.

FORMULAE For a hemisphere of radius r, we have

  • Volume of the hemisphere cubic units
  • Curved surface area of the hemisphere = (2πr2) sq units
  • Total surface area of the hemisphere = (3πr2) sq units

 

SOLVED EXAMPLES

question A sphere of radius 5 cm. find its volume and surface area

 Sol.   Here, r = 5cm

So, volume of Sphere is cubic units

    =

    = 523.80 cm3

Surface area of sphere is = sq units

    = 4×3.14×5×5

    = 62.8 cm2

question How many spherical bullets can be made out of a solid cube of lead whose edge measures 44 cm, each bullet being 4 cm in diameter?

Sol. Length of each edge of the cube = 44 cm

Volume of the cube = (44 × 44 × 44) cm3

Radius of each bullet, r = 2 cm

Volume of each bullet

Number of bullets formed

Hence, the number of bullets formed is 2541.
