The sum of the volumes of two spheres is 105 pi cubic inches. Their areas have the ratio 4:9. Find the volume of each sphere.
==========
Surface area is a function of the square of the radius.
SA ratio of 4:9 --> radius ratio of 2:3
---
Volume is a function of the cube of the radius = 8:27
---
8x + 27x = 105pi
x = 3pi
---
Volumes = 8*3pi = 24pi, and
27*3pi = 81pi cubic inches.
