Week 6 – Surface Area and Volume of Spheres

During the 6th week of Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10, I learned how to find the surface area and volume of spheres. To begin you must know the formula of both the surface area and volume of the sphere. If the radius or diameter is missing, substitutions with the formula must be done. When using the formula for surface area or volume, you must use the full pi number, rather than rounding because it can change the answer. A sphere is basically a three dimensional circle (ball). Also, spheres can be placed into other objects such as squares, which can help find the volume of square, if you know the radius.
