Eight
Eight small Christmas balls with a radius of 1 cm have the same volume as one large Christmas ball. What has a bigger surface: eight small balls, or one big ball?
The water tank
The water tank has the shape of a sphere with a radius of 2 m. How many liters of water will fit in the tank? How many kilograms of paint do we need to paint the tank, if we paint with 1 kg of paint 10 m²?
Hemisphere - roof
The shape of the observatory dome is close to the hemisphere. Its outer diameter is 11 m. How many kilograms of paint and how many liters of thinner is used for its double coat if you know that 1 kg of paint diluted with 1 deciliter of thinner will paint
The ball
The ball has a radius of 2m. What percentage of the surface and volume is another sphere whose radius is 20% larger?
Sphere VS
Find the surface and volume of a sphere that has a radius of 2 dm.
Sphere radius
The radius of the sphere we reduce by 1/3 of the original radius. How much percent does the volume and surface of the sphere change?
Iron ball
The iron ball weighs 100 kilograms. Calculate the volume, radius, and surface if the iron's density is h = 7.6g/cm³.
Half-sphere roof
The roof above the castle tower has the shape of a 12.8 m diameter half-sphere. What is this roof's cost if the cost of 1 square meter is 12 euros and 40 cents?
The observatory
The dome of the hemisphere-shaped observatory is 5.4 meters high. How many square meters of sheet metal needs to be covered to cover it, and 15 percent must be added to the minimum amount due to joints and waste?
