The diagram shows a sphere and a cube.

The cube has length 6 cm. The sphere and the cube have the same volume.
Volume of sphere=43πr3 \text{Volume of sphere} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 Volume of sphere=34πr3 Surface area of sphere=4πr2 \text{Surface area of sphere} = 4\pi r^2 Surface area of sphere=4πr2
Work out the radius of the sphere. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
