How to Calculate the Volume of a Sphere

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

Spheres—like balls, bubbles, and planets—have volume calculated by V = (4/3)πr³, where r is the radius. For example, if a ball has a radius of 5 cm, its volume is (4/3)π × 5³ = (4/3)π × 125 = 500π/3 cm³. Mastering this formula is pivotal for fields such as astronomy (calculating planetary volumes), engineering (designing spherical tanks), or everyday tasks like assessing ball capacity. As you integrate spherical volume into your mathematical toolkit, you gain insight into global geometry and problem-solving that intersects with multiple scientific applications.
