------------
Find the radius of the ball.
For the can,
and h = 2r

r =~ 6.837 cm
-------------

SA = 587.4 sq cm

-----
That can must be a cube.
---
Volume = side^3
s^3 = 2008
s = 12.62 cm
-----
s is also the diameter of the ball.
---
radius = s/2 = 6.31 cm
------
Surface area of 4(pi)r^2 = 500.34 cm^2
