  • Sphere cuts
    sphere_cut At what distance from the center intersects sphere with radius R = 56 plane, if the cut area and area of the main sphere circle is in ratio 1/2.
  • Sphere
    cone_sphere_center_1 Intersect between plane and a sphere is a circle with a radius of 60 mm. Cone whose base is this circle and whose apex is at the center of the sphere has a height of 34 mm. Calculate the surface area and volume of a sphere.
  • Inscribed circle
    Cube_with_inscribed_sphere A circle is inscribed at the bottom wall of the cube with an edge (a = 1). What is the radius of the spherical surface that contains this circle and one of the vertex of the top cube base?
  • Sphere in cone
    sphere_in_cone A sphere is inscribed in the cone (the intersection of their boundaries consists of a circle and one point). The ratio of the surface of the ball and the contents of the base is 4: 3. A plane passing through the axis of a cone cuts the cone in an isoscele
  • Sphere parts, segment
    gulovy_odsek A sphere with a diameter of 20.6 cm, the cut is a circle with a diameter of 16.2 cm. .What are the volume of the segment and the surface of the segment?
  • Horizon
    lighthouse The top of a lighthouse is 19 m above the sea. How far away is an object which is just “on the horizon”? [Assume the earth is a sphere of radius 6378.1 km.]
  • The Earth
    earth The Earth's surface is 510,000,000 km2. Calculates the radius, equator length, and volume of the Earth, assuming the Earth has the shape of a sphere.
  • Elevation
    horizon_diagram What must be the elevation of an observer in order that he may be able to see an object on the earth 536 km away? Assume the earth to be a smooth sphere with radius 6378.1 km.
  • Earth's circumference
    parallels Calculate the Earth's circumference of the parallel 48 degrees and 10 minutes.
  • Earth parallel
    parallels Earth's radius is 6370 km long. Calculate the length parallel of latitude 50°.
  • Average speed
    earth_2 What is the average speed you have to move the way around the world in 80 days? (Path along the equator, round to km/h).
  • MO SK/CZ Z9–I–3
    ball_floating_water John had the ball that rolled into the pool, and it swam in the water. Its highest point was 2 cm above the surface. The diameter of the circle that marked the water level on the surface of the ball was 8 cm. Find the diameter of John ball.
  • Moon
    zem_mesic We see Moon in the perspective angle 28'. Moon's radius is 1740 km at the time of the full moon. Calculate the mean distance of the Moon from the Earth.
  • What is bigger?
    ball_f Which ball has a larger volume: a football with a circumference of 66 cm or a volleyball with a diameter of 20 cm?
  • Float boya
    boya A 0.5 meter spherical float is used as a location mark for a fishing boat anchor. It floats in salt water. Find the depth to which the float sinks if the material of which the float is made weighs 8 kilograms per cubic meter and salt water weighs 1027 kg/
