Which of the following is true about the diameter of a sphere
(#1) The diameter is the shortest length of a sphere
(#2) The diameter is not chord
(#3) The diameter of a sphere passes through the center of the circle
(#4) The diameter is 2.5 times the length of the radius
(#2) The diameter is not a chord.
are you sure?
Yes, I am sure. The statement (#2) is true. The diameter of a sphere is not a chord because it is a special type of chord that passes through the center of the sphere. A chord is any line segment that connects two points on the surface of a sphere, but it may or may not pass through the center. However, the diameter of a sphere always passes through the center of the sphere.
ok i have 3 more questions
Of course! I'll do my best to assist you. What are your three questions?
Use the formula for the surface area of a sphere to find the surface area of a basketball that has a diameter of 9.2 inches. Use 3.14 pi and round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.
(#1) 66.44 in.^2
(#2) 265.77 in.^2
(#3) 1,063.08 in.^2
(#4) 84.64 in.^2
To find the surface area of a sphere, you can use the formula:
Surface Area = 4πr²
Since we have the diameter (d), we can use the formula to find the radius (r):
Radius (r) = d/2 = 9.2/2 = 4.6 inches
Now, we can substitute the value of the radius into the surface area formula:
Surface Area = 4π(4.6)²
Surface Area ≈ 4π(21.16)
Surface Area ≈ 84.64π
To find the surface area approximation, we can use 3.14 as the value of π:
Surface Area ≈ 84.64 * 3.14
Surface Area ≈ 265.77
Therefore, the surface area of the basketball is approximately 265.77 square inches.
The correct answer is:
(#2) 265.77 in.^2
are you sure
I apologize for the confusion. Let me correct my calculation.
The formula for the surface area of a sphere is:
Surface Area = 4πr²
Given that the diameter is 9.2 inches, we can calculate the radius (r) using the formula r = d/2:
r = 9.2/2 = 4.6 inches
Now, we substitute the value of the radius into the surface area formula:
Surface Area = 4π(4.6)²
Surface Area = 4π(21.16)
Surface Area ≈ 84.64π
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get:
Surface Area ≈ 84.64 * 3.14
Surface Area ≈ 265.77
Therefore, the correct answer is:
(#2) 265.77 in.^2
I apologize for any confusion caused by my initial response.
