Submitted by Nidhi, on August 10, 2021

Problem Solution:

Read the radius of Sphere from the user, and then calculate the surface area and volume of the Sphere.

Surface area of the Sphere:

The formula to calculate the surface area of the Sphere is:

Volume of the Sphere:

The formula to calculate the volume of the Sphere is:

Program:

The source code to calculate the surface area, volume of the Sphere is given below. The given program is compiled and executed using GCC compile on UBUNTU 18.04 OS successfully.

// C program to calculate the surface Area and
// volume of Sphere

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main()
{
    float radius = 0;

    float volume = 0;
    float area = 0;

    printf("Enter the radius: ");
    scanf("%f", &radius);

    volume = (4.0 / 3) * (3.14) * pow(radius, 3);
    area = 4 * (3.14) * pow(radius, 2);

    printf("Volume of Sphere 	  : %f\n", volume);
    printf("Surface area of Sphere: %f\n", area);

    return 0;
}

Output:

RUN 1:
Enter the radius: 2.45
Volume of Sphere          : 61.569649
Surface area of Sphere: 75.391403

RUN 2:
Enter the radius: 1.0
Volume of Sphere          : 4.186666
Surface area of Sphere: 12.560000

RUN 3:
Enter the radius: 110
Volume of Sphere          : 5572453.500000
Surface area of Sphere: 151976.000000

Explanation:

Here, we read the value of radius from the user. Then we calculated the surface area and volume of the Sphere using standard formulas.
