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 `(4)/(3) pi a^(3)`" is true or false, we will analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Shapes**: - We have a cube with side length `a`. - Inside this cube, there is a sphere (solid ball) that is fitted exactly. 2. **Identify the Diameter and Radius of the Sphere**: - The sphere fits perfectly inside the cube, meaning that the diameter of the sphere is equal to the side length of the cube. - Therefore, the diameter of the sphere = `a`. - The radius of the sphere is half of the diameter: \[ \text{Radius} = \frac{a}{2} \] 3. **Use the Formula for Volume of a Sphere**: - The formula for the volume \( V \) of a sphere is given by: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] - Substituting the radius we found: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi \left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^3 \] 4. **Calculate the Volume**: - Calculate \( \left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^3 \): \[ \left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^3 = \frac{a^3}{8} \] - Substitute this back into the volume formula: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi \cdot \frac{a^3}{8} \] - Simplify: \[ V = \frac{4 \pi a^3}{24} = \frac{\pi a^3}{6} \] 5. **Compare with the Given Statement**: - The volume of the sphere we calculated is \( \frac{\pi a^3}{6} \). - The statement claims the volume is \( \frac{4}{3} \pi a^3 \). - Since \( \frac{\pi a^3}{6} \neq \frac{4}{3} \pi a^3 \), the statement is false. ### Conclusion: The statement is **False**. The volume of the ball (sphere) that fits inside a cube of side `a` is \( \frac{\pi a^3}{6} \), not \( \frac{4}{3} \pi a^3 \).
