Question

the diameter of a sphere is decreased by 25%.by what per cent does its curved surface area of decrease​

Answer 1

Answer:

CSA decreases by 43.75%.

Explanation:

If we reduce the diameter by 25%, the radius will also be reduced by 25%.

let the initial radius of sphere = r

initial CSA = 4πr²

after reducing it 25%,

25% of r = (25/100)×r = 0.25r

final radius = r - 0.25r = 0.75r

final CSA = 4π(0.75r²) = 4πr²×(0.5625)

decrease in CSA = initial CSA - final CSA = 4πr² -  4πr² × (0.5625)

⇒decrease in CSA = 4πr² × (1-0.5625) = 4πr² × 0.4375

% decrease in CSA =  

Thus CSA decreases by 43.75%.
