A cube fits perfectly in a sphere. If the cube has a side length of 10cm, what is the volume of the sphere? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (2 decimal places) or leave your answer in Pi form

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cube fits perfectly in the sphere, it means that the diagonal of the cube will form the diameter of the sphere. In a cube, all sides are equal. To determine the length of its diagonal, d, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore,

d² = 10² + 10² = 200

d = √200 = 14.14cm

Formula for finding the volume of a sphere is expressed as

Volume = 4/3 × π × r³

Radius of sphere = diameter/2 = 14.14/2 = 7.07cm

Volume = 4/3 × π × 7.07³ = 471.19π cm³
