    Question

    A sphere of the greatest possible size is enclosed

    within a cube whose edge length is 28 cm. Calculate the surface area (in cm┬▓) of the sphere. (Take ╧А = 22/7)
    A 1,400 cm┬▓ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3,364 cm┬▓ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2,014 cm┬▓ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2,464 cm┬▓ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    The largest sphere that fits inside a cube will have a diameter equal to the cubeтАЩs edge. So, diameter of sphere = 28 cm Hence, radius of sphere = 28 / 2 = 14 cm Surface area of sphere = 4 ├Ч ╧А ├Ч radius┬▓ = 4 ├Ч (22/7) ├Ч 14┬▓ = 4 ├Ч (22/7) ├Ч 196 = 4 ├Ч (4312/7) = 17248 / 7 = 2,464 cm┬▓
