A sphere of radius r has surface area A = 4πr2 and volume V = 4 3 πr3. The radius of sphere 2 is triple the radius of sphere 1.
(a)What is the ratio of the areas, A2/A1?
(b) What is the ratio of the volumes, V2/V1?
Consider the sphere 1,
The radius of the sphere 1 is .
The surface area of the sphere 1 is,
The volume of the sphere 1 is,
Consider the sphere 2,
The radius of the sphere 2, is triple the radius of the sphere 1,
Ther surface area of the sphere 2 is,
The ratio of areas
The volume of the sphere 2 is ,
The ratio of the volumes,
