Hello there again Gummy Bears!!!

Ms. Armstrong taught us how to calculate the Volume and Surface Area of a Sphere.
First, let's see what the volume is...

The formula of the volume of a sphere is:


The radius is the distance from a point on the surface of the sphere to its centre. Sometimes, a certain problem gives you the diameter instead of the radius. Just always remember that the diameter is always the double of the radius.

Now let's take a look on the Surface Area. First, the surface area of a solid is the measure of the space taken by the exterior area.
The formula of the Surface Area is

If you are still having problem in calculating the volume and surface area of spheres, please view some videos that I found. I hope it can help you.
