Question

"As you eat your apple, it is clear that the volume of the apple continues to decrease, but the surface area does not continue to increase. However, there must be some point in your eating that the surface area starts to decrease because eventually the apple gets smaller and smaller until only the core is left. Your job is to describe two methods of determining when the apple’s surface peaks and it must start to decrease."

No, it increased.
