Example 007 A spherical balloon is inflated so that so that its diameter is 12 m. Find the surface area of the balloon’s covering and the volume of the gas.
Solution 007
$A = 452.39 \, \text{ m}^2$ answer
Volume of gas $V = \frac{1}{6}\pi D^3 = \frac{1}{6}\pi (12^3)$
$V = 904.78 \, \text{ m}^3$ answer
Example 008 Find the volume and total surface area of the earth. (Consider the earth a perfect sphere of diameter 7960 miles.)
Solution 008
$A = 199.06 \times 10^6 \, \text{ miles}^2$ answer
Volume of gas $V = \frac{1}{6}\pi D^3 = \frac{1}{6}\pi (7960^3)$
$V = 2.64 \times 10^{11} \, \text{ miles}^3$ answer
