What is the ratio for the volumes of two similar spheres, given that the ratio of their radii is 5:9
The ratio for the volumes of two similar spheres is ( 125 / 729 ).
In mathematics, ratios are used to determine the relationship between two numbers it indicates how many times is one number to another number.
The volume of the sphere is V = 4πr³, and the ratio is calculated as:-
\(\dfrac{v_1}{v_2}=\dfrac{4\pi r_1^3}{4\pi r_2^3}\)
\(\dfrac{v_1}{v_2}=(\dfrac{r_1}{r_2})^3\)
\(\dfrac{v_1}{v_2}=(\dfrac{5}{9})^3\)
\(\dfrac{v_1}{v_2}=\dfrac{125}{729}\)
Hence, the ratio of the volume is 125 / 729.
