00:0-1	A Sphere has a volume of 288 pi find its
00:05	area . Leave your answer in terms of pie to
00:10	find the area of the sphere . Remember that the
00:13	formula for the area of a sphere is four pi
00:18	R squared . So in order to find the area
00:27	we first need to find the radius of the sphere
00:32	to find the radius . Let's use are given information
00:36	. Note that we were given that the volume of
00:39	the sphere is 288 pi . And remember that the
00:44	formula for the volume of a sphere is 4/3 pi
00:49	r cubed . So we can set up the equation
00:58	288 pi equals four thirds pi R cubed . Now
01:10	to solve for R , we first get rid of
01:12	the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by
01:17	three what ? On the right side the threes cancel
01:28	. And we're left with four pi r cubed And
01:33	on the left side three times 288 pi is 864
01:40	pi . So we have 864 pi equals four pi
01:47	r cubed next to isolate the r cubed term .
01:53	We divide both sides of the equation by four pi
02:00	. On the right side the four pies cancel .
02:04	And we're left with R cubed . And on the
02:09	left side the pies cancel . And 864 divided by
02:15	four is 216 . So we have 216 equals r
02:22	cubed . Now since we have an R cubed on
02:27	the right side of the equation to get the are
02:30	by itself , we take the cube root of both
02:33	sides . Yeah on the right side of the cube
02:41	root of R cubed is our . And on the
02:46	left side to find the cube root of 216 we
02:51	make a factor tree . Yeah . 216 is two
03:01	times 108 . 108 is two times 54 , 54
03:11	Is two times 27 . 27 is three times 9
03:19	and nine Is three times 3 . Now since we're
03:25	dealing with a cube root , remember that we're looking
03:29	for groups of three factors that are the same .
03:32	And notice that we have 32s And we have three
03:38	threes . Mhm . So a two comes out of
03:43	the radical and three comes out of the radical And
03:47	we have two times 3 or six . So six
03:53	equals r . Which means that the radius of the
03:57	sphere is six . Now that we know the radius
04:01	of the sphere , we can find the area of
04:04	the sphere which is four pi R squared by plugging
04:09	in a six for the are in the formula and
04:13	we have four pi times six squared , which simplifies
04:21	to four pi times 36 Which equals 144 pi .
04:31	So the area of the sphere Is 144 Pi .
