12 multiple-choice questions, progressively harder.
Which description defines a sphere in this lesson?
Solution
Correct answer: C
A sphere consists of points at one fixed distance from its center. The filled region together with that surface is the ball.
Which object includes both a sphere and the region it encloses?
Correct answer: A
A ball contains the boundary sphere and all points inside it. A great circle is only a circle on the surface.
A sphere has radius 8 cm. What is the radius of a great circle?
Correct answer: B
A great-circle plane passes through the sphere center, so its circle has the full sphere radius, 8 cm.
A ball has diameter 10 cm. What is its exact volume?
Correct answer: D
Halve the diameter to get radius 5 cm. Substitute into the ball-volume formula.
A sphere has radius 4 cm. What is its surface area?
Square the radius and multiply by four pi.
What volume does a hemisphere of radius 3 cm enclose?
A half-ball has half the corresponding ball volume.
A hemisphere has radius 6 cm. What is its curved area, excluding its flat base?
The curved cap is half the sphere surface.
A solid hemisphere has radius 2 cm. What is its total boundary area, including the flat base?
Include the curved cap and one disk.
A sphere has radius 2.5 cm. What is the circumference of a great circle?
The great circle has radius 2.5 cm. Use a circumference formula.
A sphere radius is measured in centimeters. Which unit belongs to its surface area?
Surface area measures a two-dimensional surface, so its unit is square centimeters. Cubic centimeters measure enclosed volume.
A solid hemisphere has radius 7 cm. What is the area of its flat base?
The base is one disk of radius 7 cm.
A sphere has radius 5 cm. A plane is 4 cm from its center, measured perpendicularly. What is the section circle radius?
Use the right triangle from the center to the plane and then to the section circle.
