The volume of a sphere is 256/3π cm3.
Work out the surface area of the sphere.
Give your answer in terms of π.

Respuesta :

the surface area of the sphere is π/4 cm^3

How to determine the surface area

It is important to know the formula for surface area and volume of a sphere

Surface area = [tex]\frac{4\pi }{r^2}[/tex]

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

First, let's determine the value of radius, r

The value for volume was given as  256/3π cm3.

[tex]\frac{256}{3} \pi = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex]

Pi cancels out and we have cross multiply to get the radius

[tex]256 * 3 = 4 * 3 r^3[/tex]

[tex]12r^3 = 768[/tex]

Make r the subject of the formula

[tex]r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{768}{12} }[/tex]

[tex]r = \sqrt[3]{64}[/tex]

r = 4

Let's substitute to find the surface area

Surface area = [tex]\frac{4\pi }{4^2}[/tex]

Surface area = π/4

Surface area = π/4 cm^3

Thus, the surface area of the sphere is π/4 cm^3
