Find ( a) the volume and ( b) the surface area of the sphere Use 3.14 as an approximation pi for 26 ft
a) The volume of a sphere is given by the formula V = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius of the sphere. In this case, the radius is 26 ft. Plugging in the values, we get:
V = (4/3)*3.14*(26)^3
V = (4/3)*3.14*17576
V = 23414.186 ft^3
Therefore, the volume of the sphere is approximately 23414.186 cubic feet.
b) The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula A = 4πr^2. Plugging in the values, we get:
A = 4*3.14*(26)^2
A = 4*3.14*676
A = 3380.64 ft^2
Therefore, the surface area of the sphere is approximately 3380.64 square feet.
