THE SPHERE

671. DEF. A sphere is a solid bounded by a surface, all the points of which are equally distant from a point within called the center.

672. DEF. The radius of a sphere is a straight line drawn from the center to any point in the surface.

673. DEF. The diameter of a sphere is a straight line passing through the center and terminated at either end by the surface.

674. From the definitions it follows that

(1) All the radii of a sphere are equal, and all diameters are equal.

(2) A semicircle rotating about its diameter generates a sphere.

(3) Two spheres are equal if their radii are equal, and conversely.

(4) A point is without a sphere if its distance from the center is greater than the radius.

Ex. 1168. The radii of two spheres are respectively 10 in. and 4 in., their lines of centers (i.e. the line joining their centers) is 7 in. Is every point of the smaller sphere lying within the larger one?

PROPOSITION I. THEOREM

675. Every section of a sphere made by a plane is a circle.

[graphic][merged small][merged small][merged small]

Hyp. CBD is the intersection of plane MN, and a sphere whose center is 0.

[blocks in formation]

Since any two points B and C in CBD are equidistant from A, all points must be equidistant from A.

Or CBD is a circle.

Q.E.D.

676. COR. 1. A circle nearer to the center of a sphere is greater than one more remote.

=

For since AC OC - AO, AC is the smaller, the greater AO.

677. DEF. A great circle of a sphere is a section made by a plane passing through the center.
