Lines: 7 Okay, the ratios are the same, but they are both functions of r! Isn't the original point 'How much can x surface units enclose?' or 'How many surface units are necessary to enclose y volume units?' I mean, the examples you used have unequal surface areas and unequal volumes...how about a comparison of equal surfaced figures and/or equal volumed figures?
