- Find the volume of a sphere ((4/3)πr³) and its surface area (4πr²) — both on page 10
- Remember a sphere has only one measurement: the radius
- Handle hemispheres — halve the formulas, and add the flat circle if it's closed
Formula used
Sphere: V = ⁴⁄₃πr³ · surface area = 4πr²
On page 20 of the log tables — read it off, don’t memorise.Most recent exam questions
