The surface area of a sphere is directly proportional to the square of its radius r. The volume v of the sphere is directly proportional to the cube of its radius r. Find the percentage increase in v when s increases by 25%.
-----------------
A 25% increase --> 1.25 times the area
Change in radius =
Change in volume = =~ Vol*1.3975
=~ 39.75% increase in volume
