The volume, V, of a cube with edge length s cm is given by the equation V=s3.Is the volume of a cube with edge length s=3 greater or less than the volume of a sphere with radius 3?If a sphere has the same volume as a cube with edge length 5, estimate the radius of the sphere?Compare the outputs of the two volume functions when the inputs are 2?

The volume V of a cube with edge length s cm is given by the equation Vs3Is the volume of a cube with edge length s3 greater or less than the volume of a sphere class=

Respuesta :

We have that the volume of sphere is

[tex]\begin{gathered} V_s=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot r^3 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

and the volume of a cube is

[tex]V_c=s^3[/tex]

so if s=r=3. The volume of the sphere is greater.

If they have the same volume, we get that

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot r^3=125\rightarrow \\ r^3=\frac{3}{4\cdot\pi}\cdot125\approx29.84\approx30 \\ r=\sqrt[3]{30}\approx3.10 \end{gathered}[/tex]

when s=r=2 we have that

[tex]\begin{gathered} V_s=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot8=\frac{32}{3}\pi \\ V_c=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]

so the volume of the sphere is greater
