Question 13

A spherical snowball is melting in the sun. The volume, VVV, of the snowball is decreasing at a constant rate.

Show that the rate of decrease of the snowball's surface area, AAA, is inversely proportional to its radius, rrr.

You may use the following formulae for a sphere:

V=43πr3andA=4πr2 V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \quad \text{and} \quad A = 4\pi r^2 V=34​πr3andA=4πr2
