The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the volume of the sphere before and after the increase in radius and then find the percentage increase in volume. ### Step 1: Calculate the original volume of the sphere The formula for the volume \( V \) of a sphere is given by: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] where \( r \) is the radius of the sphere. Given that the original radius \( r = 10 \) cm, we can substitute this value into the formula: \[ V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (10)^3 \] Calculating \( (10)^3 \): \[ (10)^3 = 1000 \] Now substituting back: \[ V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi \times 1000 = \frac{4000}{3} \pi \, \text{cm}^3 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the new volume of the sphere after increasing the radius The new radius after the increase is: \[ R = 10 + 1 = 11 \, \text{cm} \] Now, we calculate the new volume \( V_2 \) using the new radius: \[ V_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (11)^3 \] Calculating \( (11)^3 \): \[ (11)^3 = 1331 \] Now substituting back: \[ V_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi \times 1331 = \frac{5324}{3} \pi \, \text{cm}^3 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the increase in volume The increase in volume \( \Delta V \) is given by: \[ \Delta V = V_2 - V_1 \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ \Delta V = \frac{5324}{3} \pi - \frac{4000}{3} \pi \] Combining the fractions: \[ \Delta V = \frac{5324 - 4000}{3} \pi = \frac{1324}{3} \pi \, \text{cm}^3 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the percentage increase in volume The percentage increase in volume is given by: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\Delta V}{V_1} \right) \times 100\% \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\frac{1324}{3} \pi}{\frac{4000}{3} \pi} \right) \times 100\% \] The \( \frac{3 \pi}{3 \pi} \) cancels out: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{1324}{4000} \right) \times 100\% \] Calculating \( \frac{1324}{4000} \): \[ \frac{1324}{4000} = 0.331 \] Now multiplying by 100: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = 0.331 \times 100 = 33.1\% \] ### Conclusion Thus, we have proved that the volume of the sphere increases by 33.1% when the radius is increased from 10 cm to 11 cm. ---
