If the radius of one sphere if 6 times longer than the radius of a second sphere, how many times bigger is the surface area of the larger sphere?
-----------------
6 times longer = 7 times as long.

SA is a function of the square of the radius.
--> 7^2 = 49 times the surface area.
49 times as big --> 48 times bigger.
