★ On increasing the radius of a sphere by 10%, find the percentage of increase in its volume .
★ 33.1 %
Let the original radius of the sphere be r units
Then, its original volume = (4/3 × π r³)
Radius of the new sphere = (110% of r) units
= (110/100 × r) units
= (11/10 × r) units
Volume of the new sphere = (4/3 π × 11 r/10) cubic units
= (4/3πr ³ × 1331/1000) cubic units
Increase in sphere's volume = {(4/3πr³×1331/1000–4/3πr³)} cubic units
= {(4/3πr³×1331/1000–1)} cubic units
= {4/3πr³×(1331–1000/1000)} cubic units
= {4/3πr³×331/1000} cubic units
Percentage increase in its volume = (4/3πr³×331/10000×100/4/3πr³)%
= (331×100/1000)%
= 33.1%
