The ball centered at point O touches the plane at point A. Point B lies in the tangency plane.

The ball centered at point O touches the plane at point A. Point B lies in the tangency plane. Find the volume of the ball if AB = 21cm, BO = 29cm.

Consider the triangle AOB:
AB = 29cm, VA = 21cm,
AO² = BO²-BA² = 29²-21² = 400 (cm²) —R²
V = 4 / 3πR²
V = 4 / 3π × 400 = 1600 / 3π (cm³) = 533, (3) π (cm³)
Answer: the volume of the ball is V = 533, (3) π cm³
