The correct Answer is:
To find the surface area of the largest possible sphere that can fit within a cubical room, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between the cube and the sphere The largest sphere that can fit inside a cube will have a diameter equal to the side length of the cube. ### Step 2: Find the side length of the cube We are given the length of the diagonal of the cube, which is \(35\sqrt{3}\) m. The formula for the diagonal \(d\) of a cube with side length \(a\) is given by: \[ d = a\sqrt{3} \] Setting \(d = 35\sqrt{3}\), we can solve for \(a\): \[ 35\sqrt{3} = a\sqrt{3} \] Dividing both sides by \(\sqrt{3}\): \[ a = 35 \text{ m} \] ### Step 3: Determine the radius of the sphere The diameter of the sphere is equal to the side length of the cube, which is \(35\) m. Therefore, the radius \(r\) of the sphere is: \[ r = \frac{diameter}{2} = \frac{35}{2} = 17.5 \text{ m} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the surface area of the sphere The formula for the surface area \(S\) of a sphere is: \[ S = 4\pi r^2 \] Substituting \(r = 17.5\) m and \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\): \[ S = 4 \times \frac{22}{7} \times (17.5)^2 \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( (17.5)^2 \) Calculating \( (17.5)^2 \): \[ (17.5)^2 = 306.25 \] ### Step 6: Substitute and simplify Now substituting back into the surface area formula: \[ S = 4 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 306.25 \] Calculating \(4 \times 306.25\): \[ 4 \times 306.25 = 1225 \] Now substituting this value: \[ S = \frac{22 \times 1225}{7} \] ### Step 7: Perform the multiplication and division Calculating \(22 \times 1225\): \[ 22 \times 1225 = 26950 \] Now dividing by \(7\): \[ S = \frac{26950}{7} = 3842.857 \approx 3850 \text{ m}^2 \] ### Final Answer The surface area of the largest possible sphere that fits within the cubical room is approximately \(3850 \text{ m}^2\). ---
