The solution:
Given:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ A sphere of radius 4m.} \\ \\ A\text{ cube of side 6.45m} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Required:
To compare the volume and area of bot shapes.
The Sphere:
[tex]\begin{gathered} Area=4\pi r^2=4(4)^2\pi=64\pi=201.062m^2 \\ \\ Volume=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=\frac{4}{3}\times\pi\times4^3=268.083m^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The Cube:
[tex]\begin{gathered} Area=6s^2=6\times6.45^2=249.615m^2 \\ \\ Volume=s^3=6.45^3=268.336m^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Clearly, we can see that:
Both shapes have approximately the same volume.
But the cube has a greater volume than that of the sphere.
Therefore, the correct answer is [option 4]
