Question

A plane intersects a sphere with a volume of about 44.6 cubic meters through the center of the sphere. What is the area of the cross section to the

nearest tenth?

Answer 1

From the above definition, we can say that the cross-section, as a result of the plane intersecting the sphere through its centre, will be a circle with the radius "r" same as that of the given sphere. Thus, the area of the cross section is 15.2 m²
