Volume and Surface Area of a Sphere
In this lesson, we learn how to find the volume and total surface area of a sphere. The total surface area is the distance all around a sphere and is calculated by taking four times pi multiplied by the radius squared. The volume is all the air that makes up the sphere and is found by taking four thirds pi times the radius cubed. It's important to keep answers in terms of pi to keep them exact since pi is irrational and goes on forever.
Finding the volume and surface area of a sphere
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
