Ten Practice Problems
- Q1: Find volume with r = 6 cm in terms of π.
Solution: V = 4/3 × π × 216 = 288π cm³. - Q2: A sphere has diameter 12 m. Find volume (π ≈ 3.14).
Solution: r = 6 m → V ≈ 904.32 m³. - Q3: If volume is 36π cm³, find radius.
Solution: r³ = (36 × 3)/4 = 27 → r = 3 cm. - Q4: What happens to volume if radius is doubled?
Solution: Volume multiplies by 2³ = 8 times.
