If the ratio of radius of two spheres is 4: 7, the ratio of their volume is?

64 : 343

Step-by-step explanation:

First use the radii to find the volume

1) Radius of first sphere is 4 (taken from 4:7 ratio)

   Insert it into the equation for volume of a sphere: V=4 /3πr^3

   V = (4/3)(π)(4^3)

   V = (4/3)(π)(64)

   V = 256/3 π

   Volume of the first sphere = 256/3 π

2) Radius of the second sphere is 7 (also taken from 4:7 ratio)

   Insert it into the equation for volume of a sphere: V=4 /3πr^3

   V = (4/3)(π)(7^3)

   V = (4/3)(π)(343)

   V = 1372/3 π

   Volume of the second sphere = 1372/3 π

Next, calculate the ratio by dividing the two numbers

256/3 π ÷ 1372/3 π

Answer should be 64 : 343

The simple way to do this problem is to just cube the numbers:  

4:7 becomes 4^3 : 7^3 = 64 : 343

Either way works.

it has the same slope and a different y-intercept

hope this : )
