The Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai, China, is a 468-meter high tower with 11 spheres along the tower. Two spheres are larger than the rest and house meeting areas, an observation deck, and a revolving restaurant. The lower of the two larger spheres has a radius of 25 meters, and the higher sphere has a radius of 22.5 meters. What is the approximate total volume of the two largest spheres on the Oriental Pearl Tower?

The approximate total volume of the two largest spheres on the Oriental Pearl Tower 113105.45 m³.

How to find the volume of a sphere

The volume of the sphere is calculated as follows:

volume = 4 / 3 πr³

where

  • r = radius

The lower two larger spheres in the tower has a radius of 25 meters and 22.5 meters. Therefore, the total volume of the two largest sphere is as follows:

volume of lower sphere = 4 / 3 × 3.14 × 25³

volume of lower sphere = 196250 / 3

volume of lower sphere = 65416.6666667

volume of lower sphere = 65416.7 m³

volume of higher sphere = 4 / 3 × 3.14 × 22.5³

volume of higher sphere = 143066.25 / 3

volume of higher sphere = 47688.75

volume of higher sphere = 47688.8 m³

The approximate total volume = 65416.7 + 47688.8  = 113105.45 m³
