Question

    Find the surface area of the smallest cube that can perfectly fit a sphere of volume 4500π cm3 inside it.  

    A 3456 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5400 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7776 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 864 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the radius of the sphere be 'R' cm. 4500π = (4/3) x π x R3 Or, 3375 = R3 So, R = 15 So, length of edge of the cube = 15 x 2 = 30 cm Required area = 6 x 302 = 5400 cm2
