A large sphere at an amusement park is 165 feet in diameter which of the following is closest to the volume in cubic feet of the sphere?

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere = 4/3 π r^3    where r is the radius.

Here the radius = 1/2 * 165 = 82.5 ft.

So the volume  = 4/3 π (82.5)^3

= 2,352,071.15 ft^3.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
