a ppt is here



































establishing the formulas for the volume and surface area of a sphere (without calulus) are quite tricky

youtube presentation for the volume

youtube presentation for the surface area, reportedly Archimedes' method (225 BCE)

this geogebra presentation shows the pyramid parts (hence the third in the formula for the volume)
