[3 marks]
2.
Find the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 10 meters. Use π ≈ 3.14.
[3 marks]
3.
A ball has a radius of 4 inches. Calculate its surface area.
[3 marks]
4.
Plot the graph of y = 2x on the grid, representing a relationship involving sphere measurements.
[2 marks]
5.
Construct a sphere with a radius of 5 cm using the grid to visualize the shape.
[2 marks]
6.
Given a sphere with surface area 315.68 cm², find its radius (π ≈ 3.14).
[4 marks]
7.
A spherical tank has a volume of 4188.8 liters. What is its radius in meters? (1 liter = 1000 cm³, use π ≈ 3.14).
[4 marks]
8.
Explain why the surface area of a sphere increases faster than its volume as the radius increases.
[3 marks]
9.
A sphere's surface area is 615.75 cm². If the radius is doubled, what will be the new surface area?
[3 marks]
10.
Identify and correct the mistake: A student calculates the volume of a sphere with radius 6 cm using V = (4/3)πr³ and gets 904.8 cm³. (Use π ≈ 3.14).
[4 marks]
11.
Challenge: Derive a formula for the surface area of a sphere in terms of its volume, and verify it with the known formulas.
[4 marks]
