YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: First I found out the radius by working out 144pi m^2 = 4pi * r^2 36m^2 = r^2 6 = r I found out the diameter by double the radius, which is 12. Then I used the formula to work out the volume of a sphere. V = 4/3 * pi * 6^2 V = 288pi m^2 confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: `a ** Sphere area is 4 pi r^2, so we have 4 pi r^2 = 144 pi m^2. Dividing by 4 pi we get r^2 = 36 m^2. Taking the square root of both sides we get r = 6 m. From this we find that the diameter is 2 * 6 m = 12 m and the volume is 4/3 pi * (6 m)^3 = 288 pi m^3. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q Query 9.5.48 cone alt 15 rad x vol 245 `pi **** What is the value of x and how did you find your result?

Given Solution: `a ** We have V = 1/3 pi r^2 h. To solve for r we multiply both sides by 3 / (pi * h) to get 3 V / (pi * h) = r^2 then take the square root to get r = sqrt(3 V / ( pi * h) ). Substituting we get r = sqrt( 3 * 245 pi / (pi * 15) ) = sqrt(49) = 7. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q Query 9.5.51 plane intersects sphere passing 7 in from center forming circle with area 576 `pi **** What is the volume of the sphere and how did you obtain it? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: I worked out that the radius of the circle is (576in^2 = r^2) = 24in. Then to find radius of the sphere I found out the hypotenuse of the triangle that the 7in from the center and the radius of the circle make up, which is 24^2 + 7^2 = c^2 625 = c^2 25 = c or 25 = r Then using the formula to find the volume of a sphere, I worked out V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 25^3 V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 15625 V = 65416.67in^3 confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `a ** The circle does have radius sqrt(576 in^2) = 24 in. However that is not the radius of the sphere since the plane containing the circle passes 7 in from the center of the sphere. So the center of the circle is not the center of the sphere. The center of the circle is 7 in from the center of the sphere. Note also that a line from the center of the sphere to the center of the circle will be perpendicular to the plane of the circle. Thus if you start at the center of the sphere and move the 7 in straight to the center of the circle, then move along the plane of intersection (in any direction) for 24 in (at which point you encounter the rim of the circle, whose radius you recall is 24 in), then back to the center of the sphere you will have traced out a right triangle with legs 7 in and 24 in. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the radius R of the sphere. So we have R^2 = 7^2 + 24^2 = 625 and R = 25. The radius of the sphere is 25 in. Its volume will therefore be 4/3 pi r^3: V = 4/3 pi r^3 = 4/3 pi * (25 in)^3 = 4/3 pi * 16000 in^3 (approx.) = 67000 in^3, approx. ** STUDENT COMMENT: I don't understand how you drew a triangle inside of the circle. How did you know to do that instead of adding the 7 to the radius of the plane? INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE: The triangle wasn't inside the circle. It was, however, inside the sphere. Its 7-inch leg runs from the center of the sphere to the center of the circle. Its 24 in leg runs from the center of the circle to any point on the circle. That point is also on the sphere. A radius of the sphere runs from the center of the sphere to any point on the sphere. The hypotenuse of the right triangle runs from the center of the circle to a point on the sphere, so the hypotenuse is a radius of the sphere. The key part of the explanation is quoted in the paragraph below. You can probably get by OK without completely understanding this (nothing this challenging on the test), but if you still have trouble with the given solution and want to get to the bottom of it, then tell me, phrase by phrase, what you do and do not understand in the above explanation and in this paragraph: 'Thus if you start at the center of the sphere and move the 7 in straight to the center of the circle, then move along the plane of intersection (in any direction) for 24 in (at which point you encounter the rim of the circle, whose radius you recall is 24 in), then back to the center of the sphere you will have traced out a right triangle with legs 7 in and 24 in. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the radius R of the sphere.' &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q Query Add comments on any surprises or insights you experienced as a result of this assignment. I don't think that my last answer is correct.
