Explanation:

✬ Radius = 2.5 cm ✬

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of spherical ball is 3 cm.

Radii of new spherical balls are 1.5 cm and 2 cm.

To Find:

Radius of third spherical ball ?

Solution : Let the radius of third spherical ball be x cm.

If something is melted and recasted into another thing then their volumes will be equal. In short

Volume of 1st thing = Volume of second one.

➯ Let's see here

Volume of big spherical ball will be equal to the sum of volumes of that three small spherical balls.

As we know that

★ Volume of Sphere = 4/3πr³ ★

[ Taking big spherical ball ]

Radius = 3 cm

⟹ Volume = 4/3 × π × (3)³

⟹ 4π/3 × 27

Volume we got = 4π/3 × 27 cm³

[ Taking 3 small spherical balls ]

Radius of first ball (r¹) = 1.5 cm

For second (R) = 2 cm

For third (x) = x cm

Volume = 4/3 × π( sum cubes of radii)

⟹ Volume = 4/3 × π(1.5³ + 2³ + r³)

⟹ 4π/3 (3.375 + 8 + x³)

⟹ 4π/3 ( 11.375 + x³)

Volume we got = 4π/3 (11.375 + x³) cm³

A/q

First volume = Second volume

➮ 4π/3 × 27 = 4π/3 (11.375 + x³)

➮ 27 = 11.375 + x³

➮ 27 – 11.375 = x³

➮ 15.625 = x³

➮ 15625/1000 = x³

➮ 3125/200 = 625/40 = 125/8 = x³

➮ ³√125/8 = x³

➮ 5/2 = x²

➮ 2.5 cm = x

Hence, the measure of radius of third spherical ball is 2.5 cm.
