If 64 identical small spheres are made out of a big sphere of diameter 8 cm, what is surface area of each small sphere?

Correct Answer: 4 π cm2

Explanation:

Volume of small spheres
= Volume of bigger sphere / Number of small spheres = [(4/3)π(4)3] / 64
= [(4/3) x π x 4 x 4 x 4] / 64
= 4/3 π cm3
Let radius of small sphere be r
∴ 4/3πr3 = 4π/3
⇒ r2 = 1 cm
Now, surface area of small sphere = 4πr2 = 4π cm2
