Consider a cone with base radius and vertical height . A sphere also has radius . What is the ratio of the volume of this specific cone to the volume of the sphere?
True or False: If a sphere has a volume of , then the volume of the smallest cylinder that can circumscribe it is exactly .
Based on the geometric relationship attributed to Archimedes, the volume of a sphere is exactly what fraction of the volume of the cylinder that just fits around it (the circumscribed cylinder)?
True or False: If a sphere has a radius , the volume of the 'tightest' cylinder that can hold it (the circumscribed cylinder) is given by the formula .
Archimedes established that the volume of a sphere is two-thirds the volume of its circumscribed cylinder. If the cylinder that perfectly encloses a sphere has a volume of , what is the volume of the sphere?
