The correct Answer is:
To find the surface area of the largest possible sphere that can fit within a cubical room, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between the cube and the rod The length of the largest possible rod that can be placed in a cubical room is equal to the length of the diagonal of the cube. Given that the diagonal of the cube is \( 35\sqrt{3} \) m, we can use this to find the side length of the cube. ### Step 2: Find the side length of the cube The formula for the diagonal \( d \) of a cube in terms of its side length \( a \) is given by: \[ d = a\sqrt{3} \] Setting this equal to the given diagonal: \[ a\sqrt{3} = 35\sqrt{3} \] To find \( a \), we can divide both sides by \( \sqrt{3} \): \[ a = 35 \text{ m} \] ### Step 3: Determine the diameter of the sphere The largest possible sphere that can fit within the cube will have a diameter equal to the side length of the cube. Therefore, the diameter \( D \) of the sphere is: \[ D = a = 35 \text{ m} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the radius of the sphere The radius \( r \) of the sphere is half of the diameter: \[ r = \frac{D}{2} = \frac{35}{2} = 17.5 \text{ m} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the surface area of the sphere The formula for the surface area \( S \) of a sphere is: \[ S = 4\pi r^2 \] Substituting the value of \( r \): \[ S = 4\pi \left(\frac{35}{2}\right)^2 \] Calculating \( r^2 \): \[ r^2 = \left(\frac{35}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1225}{4} \] Now substituting back into the surface area formula: \[ S = 4\pi \cdot \frac{1225}{4} \] The \( 4 \) cancels out: \[ S = \pi \cdot 1225 \] Using \( \pi = \frac{22}{7} \): \[ S = \frac{22}{7} \cdot 1225 \] Calculating: \[ S = \frac{22 \cdot 1225}{7} = \frac{26950}{7} = 3842.857 \text{ m}^2 \] Rounding to the nearest whole number, the surface area is approximately: \[ S \approx 3850 \text{ m}^2 \] ### Final Answer The surface area of the largest possible sphere that can fit within the cubical room is \( 3850 \text{ m}^2 \). ---
