If the volume and surface area of a sphere is numerically the same then it's radius is_________?
Correct answer: C. 3 units
- A. 1 unit
- B. 2 units
- C. 3 units
- D. 4 units
Explanation
For a sphere, volume is 4/3 x pi x r^3 and surface area is 4 x pi x r^2. Equating their numerical values gives 4/3 x pi x r^3 = 4 x pi x r^2, so r/3 = 1 and r = 3 units. The likely mistake is 2 units, which can result from confusing this relation with another sphere formula.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
