You can put this solution on YOUR website! The two spheres above have the same center. One has a radius of 4 cm, and the other has a radius of 5 cm. Approximately how much space is in between the two spheres
sphere A radius 4 cm so r[A] = 4 cm
sphere B radius 5 cm so r[B] = 5 cm
distance between the surfaces of the 2 spheres is 1 cm
to find volume of each sphere and the difference in volume:
V[sphere] = 4/3 * pi * radius ^ 3
V[B - A] = V[B] - V[A]
V[B - A] = 4/3 * pi * 5 ^ 3 - 4/3 * pi * 4 ^ 3
V[B - A] = 4/3 * pi * (5^3 - 4^3) or 4/3 * pi * ( r[B] - r[A] ) (factored)
V[B] = 4/3 * pi * 125 = (125 * 4)/3 * pi
V[A] = 4/3 * pi * 64 = (64 * 4)/3 * pi
difference is (61 * 4)/3 * pi
V[B - A] = 4/3 * pi * (125 - 64)
V[B - A] = 4/3 * pi * 61
V[B - A] = (61 * 4)/3 * pi
V[B - A] = 244/3 * pi cm^3
