The moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. What is the surface area of the moon? Round to the nearest mile. The moon is a sphere. So our Surface Area formula is: S =4pir^2 If diameter is 2,159, then radius is 2,159/2 = 1079.5. Plug this into the Surface Area of a sphere formula: S = 4 * pi * 1079.5^2...

Assume that a balloon is spherical shaped. If you have a balloon with the radius of 3, what’s the volume? Using our sphere calculator, we get Volume (V): V = 36pi or 113.0973

A spherical water tank holds 11,500ft^3 of water. What is the diameter? The tank holding amount is volume. And the volume of a sphere is: V = (4pir^3)/3 We know that radius is 1/2 of diameter: r =d/2 So we rewrite our volume function: V = 4/3(pi(d/2)^3) We're given V = 11,500 so we have...
