The radius of a sphere is increased by 10%. Show that the volume increases by approximately 33.1%.

  • 1

Increasing the radius by 10% makes the new radius 1.1r. The new volume is proportional to (1.1r)³ = 1.331r³, representing a 0.331 or 33.1% increase over the original volume.

  1. Let the original radius of the sphere be r, so its original volume is V = (4/3)πr³. When the radius increases by 10%, the new radius becomes r’ = 1.1r. The new volume is V’ = (4/3)π(1.1r)³ = 1.331 × (4/3)πr³ = 1.331V. The fractional increase is (V’ − V) / V = 0.331, which corresponds to a 33.1% increase in volume.
