Question

If the radius of a sphere is halved, what happens to the volume of the sphere? Use your algebra skille te develop a formula for the reduced sphere, V, in terms of V.​

Answer 1

V₂ = V₁ / 8

Explanation:

Volume of sphere with radius of 6 = 288π

Volume of sphere with radius of 3 = 36π

the difference in volume after radius is halved is reduced 8 times so formula could be:

V (when radius is halved) = prior volume ÷ 8

V₂ = V₁ / 8
