Description

A change in the radius or diameter of a sphere can affect both the surface area and volume.


 

relative change in surface area =

= ((relative change in radius)^2) =

= ((relative change in diameter)^2)

 

relative change in volume =

= ((relative change in radius)^3) =

= ((relative change in diameter)^3)

 

where:

• relative change = (new value) / (previous value)

 

To change the relative surface area of a sphere:

 

relative change in radius =

= ((relative change in surface area)^(0.5))

 

relative change in diameter =

= ((relative change in surface area)^(0.5))

 

To change the relative volume of a sphere:

 

relative change in radius =

= ((relative change in volume)^(0.333))

 

relative change in diameter =

= ((relative change in volume)^(0.3333))
