A sphere of radius 1 is placed inside a cube with side length 2.

What is the probaility that a randomlychosen point is inside the sphere?

 

Volume of the sphere:  V  =  (4/3)·pi·r3    --->     V  =  (4/3)·pi·13​     --->     V  =  (4/3)·pi

 

Volume of the cube:  V  =  s3     --->     V  =  23     --->     V  =  8

 

Probability:  (4/3)·pi / 8
