Introduction to the Volume of a Sphere — Quiz

Question 10 • Foundations of Math 1

Which statement about a sphere is true?

Answer
A
The center of a sphere is created from a plane that passes through the sphere.
B
The great circle of a sphere is a three-dimensional circle.
C
The great circle of a sphere is not the same shape as the base of a cone.
D
The length of the diameter of a sphere is two times the length of the radius of the sphere.

Explanation

A sphere’s diameter passes through its center and is made up of two radii, so its length is 2 times the radius. Therefore, the true statement is that the diameter is twice the radius. A great circle is a flat, two-dimensional circle, not a three-dimensional circle.
