Surface Area and Volume of Spheres
- Special segments of a sphere
- Radius: endpoints are the center and on the sphere
- Chord: endpoints are points on the sphere
- Diameter: endpoints on the sphere and passes through center
- Tangent: a line that intersects the sphere at one point
- A plane can intersect a sphere in a point, a circle, or a great circle
- Hemisphere: half of a sphere separated by a great circle
- Surface area of a sphere = 4πr2
- Volume of a sphere = 4/3 (πr3)
