To find the radius R of the sphere from which a spherical segment of height h = 2 and volume V = 112 is cut, we can use the formula for the volume of a spherical segment:
Given:
- V = 112
- h = 2
Substitute the known values into the formula:
Simplify the equation - thus, the radius R of the sphere is:
This is the exact form of the radius. If a numerical approximation is needed, you can substitute π ≈ 3.1416 :
So, the radius of the sphere is approximately 9.58 units.
V = π h2 (3R - h)3
Given:
- V = 112
- h = 2
Substitute the known values into the formula:
112 = π (2)2 (3R - 2)3
Simplify the equation - thus, the radius R of the sphere is:
R = 28π + 23
This is the exact form of the radius. If a numerical approximation is needed, you can substitute π ≈ 3.1416 :
R ≈ 283.1416 + 23 ≈ 8.9127 + 0.6667 ≈ 9.5794
So, the radius of the sphere is approximately 9.58 units.
