Determine whether the statement is true or false.
A sphere with volume 972pi cubic inches has surface area 324pi square inches.

Respuesta :

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Sphere

[tex]Volume = 972\ pi[/tex]

[tex]Area = 324\pi[/tex]

Required

True or False

The volume of a sphere is:

[tex]Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

Substitute [tex]972\pi[/tex] for volume

[tex]972\pi = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

[tex]972 = \frac{4}{3}r^3[/tex]

Make r the subject

[tex]r^3 = \frac{3}{4} * 972[/tex]

[tex]r^3 = \frac{3 * 972}{4}[/tex]

[tex]r^3 = \frac{2916}{4}[/tex]

[tex]r^3 = 729[/tex]

[tex]r =9[/tex]

The surface area is calculated using:

[tex]Area =4\pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]Area =4\pi *9^2[/tex]

[tex]Area =4\pi *81[/tex]

[tex]Area =324\pi[/tex]
