Given,

Radius of the sphere (r) = 7 cm

By formula,

Volume of the sphere (V) = $\dfrac{4}{3}πr^3$

Substituting values we get :

$V = \dfrac{4}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 7^3 \\[1em] = \dfrac{4}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 343 \\[1em] = \dfrac{88}{21} \times 343 \\[1em] = \dfrac{88}{3} \times 49 \\[1em] = \dfrac{4312}{3} \\[1em] = 1437 \dfrac{1}{3} \text{ cm}^3.$

Hence, the volume of sphere = $1437 \dfrac{1}{3}$ cm³.

Solid	CSA	TSA	Volume
Cube (a)	4a²	6a²	a³
Cuboid (l,b,h)	2h(l+b)	2(lb+bh+hl)	lbh
Cylinder (r,h)	2πrh	2πr(r+h)	πr²h
Cone (r,h,l)	πrl	πr(l+r)	⅓πr²h
Sphere (r)	4πr²		&frac43;πr³
Hemisphere (r)	2πr²	3πr²	⅔πr³

Common Traps

Cone CSA uses slant height l, NOT height h! l = √(r²+h²)

Hemisphere TSA = CSA + base circle = 2πr² + πr² = 3πr²

Use radius, not diameter! If diameter is given, divide by 2 first.

Quick Self-Check

1. Volume of cube with side 5 cm? (125 cm³)
2. CSA of cylinder with r=7, h=10? (2×22/7×7×10 = 440 cm²)
3. Volume of cone with r=3, h=4? (⅓×π×9×4 = 12π cm³)
