Volume and Properties of Spheres

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a sphere with a given diameter. It covers the geometry of a sphere, the relationship between radius and diameter, and the formula for volume. The tutorial demonstrates the calculation process, including finding the radius, using the volume formula, and obtaining both exact and approximate volume values. It emphasizes the importance of using accurate values for pi and discusses the units of measurement.

What is the main problem discussed in the video?

• Measuring the diameter of a cylinder

• Calculating the volume of a sphere

• Finding the surface area of a sphere

• Determining the circumference of a circle

What is the relationship between the diameter and the radius of a sphere?

• The radius is half the diameter

• The radius is three times the diameter

• The radius is twice the diameter

• The radius is equal to the diameter

Which formula is used to calculate the volume of a sphere?

• Volume = 4/3πr^3

• Volume = πd^2/4

• Volume = πr^2

• Volume = 2πr

How is the radius of the sphere calculated from the diameter?

• By dividing the diameter by 2

• By multiplying the diameter by 2

• By adding 2 to the diameter

• By subtracting 2 from the diameter

What is the exact volume of the sphere expressed in terms of pi?

• 19683/8 cubic centimeters
