How do you determine the surface area of a partial sphere?

Take the surface area of the sphere as of it was whole, and divide by the amount of the sphere that is missing.


When do you take the reciprocal of a fraction?

You take the reciprocal of a fraction when you want to invert the numerator and the denominator. The reciprocal of a fraction is found by flipping the fraction upside down. For example, the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.


How do you calculate the area of a sphere knowing just the diameter?

-- Take 1/2 of the diameter. That's the 'radius' of the sphere. -- 'Square' the radius. (Multiply it by itself.) -- Multiply the result by 4 pi. You now have the surface area of the sphere. P.S.: There really isn't anything else to know about a sphere other than its diameter.


How do you get the circumference of a sphere?

pie times diameter is the circumference of a circle. a sphere is a 3-dimensional object and you dont take the circumference but rather you take the surface area. the circumference is to measure the total outside distance around the circle. the surface area is the measure the total outside distance around the sphere. remember a sphere is like a ball that is rounded. a circle is just a circle and can only be 2-dimensional.. like on paper


How do you find the empty space if you put a sphere in a cube?

To determine empty space, we will assume that the sphere fits snugly(so that each side of the cube is touching the sphere). First, we take the volume of the cube, which is just one of its side lengths cubed(side length X side length X side length). Record this quantity. Then we find the volume of the sphere. The formula for the volume of a shere is (4/3) Pi r cubed. Since the sphere fits snugly, we know that the radius is half of the side length. We then take the cube volume and subtract the sphere volume, and that is the empty space remaining.

How many faces has a cylinder?

many mathematical answers to this question (see wikipedia) but in simplistic terms define cylinder. if the edge of each surface defines a 'Face' the standard answer as used in such quizz games as "Are You Smarter Than a 10 Year Old" would be 3, but if we take the description to apply to a hollow sphere the answer would be 6, there being inside faces as well as outside. Haven't yet found this answer anywhere yet. But a cylinder has got 3 faces. The idea of the hollow sphere does not lead to 6 surfaces as 2 of them are the same in the cases of inside and outside, i.e. the end edges, so 4 would be the correct answer for a hollow sphere.


Which sphere does earthquakes take place in?

What are the steps to take to hone a cylinder?

There are many steps that one has to take to hone a cylinder. One must first get a machine to spin the cylinder and then one must bore into the cylinder with a cutting device.

How do you change the rear wheel cylinders on a 2001 Malibu?

remove all the brake shoes and hardware, take the brake line out of the back of the wheel cylinder and there should be 2 bolts holding the cylinder on that you need to take out and then you can take the cylinder off.
