Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: G17g - Volume of spheres, pyramids, and cones - BossMaths.com
Let's solve the problem step by step for each of the three solids: sphere, cone, and square-based pyramid. We'll find the volume of each in cm³, providing:

- (a) Exact form
- (b) Rounded to 2 decimal places

---

🔹 1. Sphere



Given: Radius $ r = 7 $ cm

Formula for volume of a sphere:
$$
V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3
$$

#### (a) Exact form:
$$
V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (7)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (343) = \frac{1372}{3} \pi \text{ cm}^3
$$

#### (b) Approximate value:
$$
V \approx \frac{1372}{3} \times 3.1416 \approx 457.333 \times 3.1416 \approx 1436.76 \text{ cm}^3
$$

Sphere Volume:
- (a) $ \frac{1372}{3} \pi $ cm³
- (b) 1436.76 cm³

🔹 2. Cone



Given:
- Radius $ r = 4 $ cm
- Height $ h = 13 $ cm

Formula for volume of a cone:
$$
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h
$$

#### (a) Exact form:
$$
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (4)^2 (13) = \frac{1}{3} \pi (16)(13) = \frac{1}{3} \pi (208) = \frac{208}{3} \pi \text{ cm}^3
$$

#### (b) Approximate value:
$$
V \approx \frac{208}{3} \times 3.1416 \approx 69.333 \times 3.1416 \approx 218.18 \text{ cm}^3
$$

Cone Volume:
- (a) $ \frac{208}{3} \pi $ cm³
- (b) 218.18 cm³

🔹 3. Square-based Pyramid



Given:
- Base side length = 60 cm
- Height = 30 cm

Formula for volume of a pyramid:
$$
V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
$$

Base is a square:
$$
\text{Base Area} = 60 \times 60 = 3600 \text{ cm}^2
$$

So,
$$
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3600 \times 30 = 1200 \times 30 = 36,000 \text{ cm}^3
$$

This is already an exact number.

Pyramid Volume:
- (a) $ 36,000 $ cm³
- (b) 36,000.00 cm³ (no rounding needed)

Final Answers:



| Solid | Exact Form | Rounded (2 dp) |
|------|------------|----------------|
| Sphere | $ \frac{1372}{3} \pi $ cm³ | 1436.76 cm³ |
| Cone | $ \frac{208}{3} \pi $ cm³ | 218.18 cm³ |
| Square-based Pyramid | $ 36,000 $ cm³ | 36,000.00 cm³ |
