Algebra.Com's Answer #467022 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! a sphere has a surface area of 64 p.i. find the surface area of the largest cube contained in the sphere \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "SA = 4*pi*r^2 = 64 \n" ); document.write( "r^2 = 16pi \n" ); document.write( "r = 4sqrt(pi) \n" ); document.write( "---------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Diagonal of the cube = 8*sqrt(pi) \n" ); document.write( "Diagonal of the base of the cube = (8sqrt(pi))/sqrt(2) = 8sqrt(pi/2) \n" ); document.write( "Edge of the cube = (8sqrt(pi/2))/sqrt(2) = 8sqrt(pi/4) = 4sqrt(pi) \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Surface area of the cube = 6(4sqrt(pi))^2 = 6(16pi) = 96pi sq units \n" ); document.write( "====================================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "=============== \n" ); document.write( " |
