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)
