Question

(Sphere has a volume of 40 cubic meters and is reduced by a scale factor
one-fourth. What is the volume of the smaller sphere?

Answer 1

Answer: $10\ m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The volume of Sphere is $40\ m^3$

It is reduced by a scale factor of one-fourth i.e. Volume is reduced to one-fourth of the original volume

The new volume is given by

$\Rightarrow V_{new}=\dfrac{V}{4}=\dfrac{40}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow V_{new}=10\ m^3$
