The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "A solid ball is exactly fitted inside the cubical box of side a. The volume of the ball is \( \frac{4}{3} \pi a^2 \)" is true or false, we will analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - We have a cube with a side length of \( a \). - A solid ball (sphere) is fitted inside this cube. 2. **Identifying the Dimensions**: - The diameter of the sphere will be equal to the side length of the cube, which is \( a \). - Therefore, the radius \( r \) of the sphere can be calculated as: \[ r = \frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{a}{2} \] 3. **Calculating the Volume of the Sphere**: - The formula for the volume \( V \) of a sphere is given by: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] - Substituting the radius \( r = \frac{a}{2} \) into the volume formula: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi \left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^3 \] 4. **Simplifying the Volume Calculation**: - First, calculate \( \left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^3 \): \[ \left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^3 = \frac{a^3}{8} \] - Now substitute this back into the volume formula: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi \cdot \frac{a^3}{8} \] - Simplifying this expression: \[ V = \frac{4 \pi a^3}{3 \cdot 8} = \frac{4 \pi a^3}{24} = \frac{\pi a^3}{6} \] 5. **Comparing with the Given Statement**: - The statement claims that the volume of the ball is \( \frac{4}{3} \pi a^2 \). - We found that the volume of the sphere is \( \frac{\pi a^3}{6} \). - Since \( \frac{\pi a^3}{6} \) is not equal to \( \frac{4}{3} \pi a^2 \), the statement is false. ### Conclusion: The statement is **False**. ---
