A round hole is drilled through the center of a spherical solid with a radius (r). The resulting cylindrical hole has height 4 cm.
a)What is the volume of the solid that remains?
b)What is unusual about the answer?
(In reply to
Question about the givens by Larry)
To address your questions:
- The radius r refers to the radius of the spherical solid.
- The round hole is drilled all the way through the sphere.
- The resulting round hole is a perfect cylinder of unknown radius
(no larger than the radius of the original spherical solid), and of
height 4cm.
I am not giving any information that is not already in the problem.
