Answer: 4πr².
- A 4πr²
- B 2πr²
- C πr²
- D (4/3)πr³
Correct answer: A. 4πr²
Explanation: Surface area of sphere = 4πr².
Three standard 3D solids and their key formulas: a cylinder's volume scales with the full height, a cone's volume is exactly one-third of the cylinder with the same base and height, and a sphere's volume and surface area both follow distinct r-based formulas worth memorising separately.
