Respuesta :

The volume of a sphere is given by:

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

The original sphere, with radius r=3, has volume:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi(3)^3 \\ =36\pi \end{gathered}[/tex]

The second sphere, with radius r=9, has volume:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi(9)^3 \\ =972\pi \end{gathered}[/tex]

To find how much the volume increased we substract the first volume to the second one:

[tex]972\pi-36\pi=936\pi[/tex]

Therefore the v
