What is the denominator of the sphere

Here are the most common formulas associated with a sphere:

The volume (V) of a sphere is the amount of 'stuff' that could fit inside the sphere. Usually, when discussing volume, it is in terms of a liquid or gas. An example would be, 'What is the volume of air that can fit inside a basketball?' The formula for volume is:

V = (4/3?r^3

Surface area is just what its name implies: it's the area of the surface of an object. So, if you could cut open the basketball from the previous example and lay its surface out flat, you could see the surface area? This is useful for determining how much material would be needed to cover the sphere in question. The formula for surface area is:

SA = 4?r^2

Examples

Using our formulas, let's take a look at some example problems using spheres:

1.) What is the volume of a ball with a radius of 6 inches? (We'll use 3.14 for pi and round our answer to the nearest .10.)
