Spheres
A sphere is a three-dimensional figure that has the shape of a ball:
1. A sphere is the set of all points that lie a fixed distance r from a single center point O.
2. A sphere is the surface that results when a circle is rotated about any of its diameters:
3. A sphere results when you construct a polyhedron with an infinite number of faces that are
infinitely small. To see why this is true, recall regular polyhedra.
As the number of faces on the figure increases, each face gets smaller in area and the figure
comes more to resemble a sphere. When you imagine a figure with an infinite number of
faces, it would look like a sphere.
NOTE: If the value of 𝝅 is specified in the question as 3.14 or 22/7, you
are expected to use the same value. When not specified use the 𝝅 symbol
from the desmos calculator for all calculations.
