Find the volume $ V $ of a sphere if area $A = 144\pi$.

$V = 48\pi$

STEP 1: find radius $ r $

To find radius $ r $ use formula:

$$ A = 4 \cdot r^2 \cdot \pi $$

After substituting $ A = 144\pi $ we have:

$$ 144\pi = 4 \cdot r^2 \cdot \pi $$ $$ r^2 \cdot \pi = \dfrac{ 144\pi }{ 4 } $$ $$ r^2 \cdot \pi = 36\pi $$ $$ r^2 = 36 $$ $$ r = \sqrt{ 36 } $$ $$ r = 6 $$

STEP 2: find volume $ V $

To find volume $ V $ use formula:

$$ V = \dfrac{ 4 \cdot r^2 \cdot \pi}{ 3 } $$

After substituting $ r = 6 $ we have:

$$ V = \dfrac{ 4 \cdot 6^2 \cdot \pi}{ 3 } $$ $$ V = \dfrac{ 4 \cdot 36 \cdot \pi}{ 3 }$$ $$ V = \dfrac{ 144 \cdot \pi}{ 3 }$$ $$ V = 48 \cdot \pi $$
