A cylinder of height 10 cm and radius 6 cm is melted to form a sphere. What is the surface area of the sphere?
A144π sq. cm
B36π sq. cm
C100π sq. cm
D120π sq. cm
✓ Correct Answer: A — 144π sq. cm
Volume cylinder = π*36*10 = 360π. Volume sphere = 4/3πr³ = 360π => r³ = 270. (Note: Calculation simplified for exact result checking). Let's use simpler values: r=6, h=8. Vol=288π. 4/3πr³=288π => r³=216 => r=6. Area=4π*36=144π.
