SSGM6
3-D Mensuration II — Spheres
Calculate surface area and volume of spheres and hemispheres; apply to real-life contexts.
Define a sphere and its great circle, derive SA = 4 pi r^2, and apply it, converting diameter to radius first.
Derive and apply V = 4/3 pi r^3 using the Archimedes ratio, convert diameter to radius, find r from V, and use conservation of volume.
Define a hemisphere; derive and apply CSA = 2 pi r^2, TSA = 3 pi r^2, and V = 2/3 pi r^3; distinguish a solid hemisphere from an open bowl.
Rearrange sphere and hemisphere formulas to find the radius; chain volume to surface area; solve the equal-condition and surface-area-change problems.
Identify external vs seam surfaces; find TSA and volume of cylinder+hemisphere and cone+hemisphere solids; solve recast and capacity problems by conservation of volume.
