If a ball and a cube have the same volume, what is the ratio between the surface
\n" ); document.write( " areas of the ball and the cube?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Choose a convenient value for the volume; 1000
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "side of cube = 10
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = 6(10^2)
\n" ); document.write( "SA = 600 Sq/units; cube
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the radius
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284%2F3%29pi%2Ar%5E3\" = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 3:
\n" ); document.write( "\"4pi%2Ar%5E3\" = 3(1000)
\n" ); document.write( "r^3 = \"3000%2F%284%2Api%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = \"238.732%5E%281%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = 6.2
\n" ); document.write( "Find the surface area
\n" ); document.write( "SA = \"4%2Api%2A6.2%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "SA = 483.6 sq/units; sphere
\n" ); document.write( ":
