Two spheres are tangent to each other. One has a volume of 36π, and the other has a volume of 288π. What is the greatest distance between a point on one of the spheres and a point on the other sphe

Answer:

18 m

Explanation:

In the given figure we have two sphere one has volume [tex]V=288\pi[/tex] and other has volume  [tex]V=36\pi[/tex]

The greatest distance between the one point of the sphere to other sphere will be the sum of diameter of both sphere

We know that volume of the sphere [tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

So for larger sphere [tex]288\pi =\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

r = 6 m, so diameter d =6×2=12 m

Now for smaller sphere [tex]36\pi  =\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

r = 3 m , so diameter d=3×2=6 m

So the greatest distance between two sphere is 6+12=18 m
