The volume of a spherical sculpture is 256 ft³. Rhianna wants to estimate the surface area of the sculpture. To do the estimate, she approximates π using 3 in both the surface area and volume formulas for a sphere.


Using this method, what value does she get for the approximate surface area of the sculpture?

Respuesta :

Answer:

192 [tex]ft^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Volume of spherical sculpture = 256 ft³

[tex]\pi[/tex] is used as 3.

To find:

Surface area of sculpture = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about the formula for Volume and Surface Area of Sphere:

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

2. [tex]Surface\ Area = 4\pi r^2[/tex]

Given volume is 256 ft³.

[tex]256 = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\Rightarrow 256 = \dfrac{4}{3}\times 3 r^3\\\Rightarrow 256 = 4 r^3\\\Rightarrow r^3=64\\\Rightarrow \bold{r = 4\ ft}[/tex]

Now, let us put r = 4 in the formula of Surface Area to find the value of Surface Area:

[tex]Surface\ Area = 4\pi 4^2 = 4 \times 3 \times 16 = \bold{192\ ft^2}[/tex]

So, approximate surface area of sculpture is 192 [tex]ft^2[/tex].
