A solid sphere of chocolate has a volume of $288\pi$ . The chocolate is then melted down and reshaped into a solid cube. Assume no chocolate was wasted.

Did the sphere have a greater surface area or does the cube?

Useful equations:

Volume of a sphere: $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$
Volume of a cube: $V=a^3$
Surface area of a sphere: $A=4\pi r^2$
Surface area of a cube: $A=6a^2$

The Cube The Sphere Their surface areas were equal

A chocolate shop sells its products in 3 different shapes: a cylindrical bar, a spherical ball, and a cone. These 3 shapes are of the same height and radius, as shown in the picture. Which of these choices would give you the most chocolate?

$\text{ I. A full cylindrical bar } \hspace{.4cm} \text{ or } \hspace{.45cm} \text{ II. A ball plus a cone }$

A ball plus a cone because the volume of the two is greater than just one. A cylindrical bar because it has more volume. Not enough information. Doesn't matter. Both options have got the same amount.
