Introduction to the Volume of a Sphere

Question 9 • Pre-Algebra B

The center of a sphere is

Answer
A
a line segment from the center point to the surface of the sphere.
B
a fixed point equidistant from all points on the surface of the sphere.
C
a three-dimensional circle in which all points are equidistant from a fixed point.
D
the same as the base of the sphere.

Explanation

The center of a sphere is the fixed point inside it that is the same distance from every point on its surface. That distance is called the radius, so the correct choice is “a fixed point equidistant from all points on the surface of the sphere.” A line segment from the center to the surface is a radius, not the center.
