It seems that you need the formulas for the volume and surface area of a sphere.
Do you have them? If not, find them.

anonymous · Answer

the formula for the surface area of the sphere is S.A=4pi(r)^2
the volume of a sphere is solved V=4/3 pi (r)^3

mathstudent55 · Answer

Great.
Now start with the formula for the volume of a sphere.
Write out the right side of the formula, and set it equal to the volume you are given.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Then you will need to solve for r, the radius of the sphere.
Once you know the radius of the sphere, you use the radius of the sphere in the formula for the surface area to find the surface area of the sphere.
