If the ratio of the radii of two sphere is 3 : 7.
Find : the ratio of their volumes.
Solution:
The capacity of a sphere is its volume. It is the area that the sphere occupies. The sphere has a round, three-dimensional shape. Its shape is determined by three axes: the x, y, and z axes.
Let the radii of two spheres be r1 and r2.
Given ratio of their radii = 3:7
Volume of sphere = (4/3)π r3
Ratio of the volumes = (4/3)π r13/(4/3)π r23
= r13/ r23
= 33/73
= 27/343
Hence the ratio of their volumes is 27:343.
