I've been stuck in this textbook problem for so long now, basically if the radius is $R$ then:



$4pi R^2 = frac81pisqrt27$



The textbook says the solution is one of these:



$a) frac32sqrt3$



$b) frac32sqrt[4]3$



$c) frac92$



$d) frac94sqrt3$



The solution is suppose to be $b)$ but I have never been able to get that answer.

From $4pi R^2 = frac81pisqrt27$ divide by $4pi$ to get
$$R^2=frac814sqrt27=frac3^42^2cdot 3^frac32=frac3^frac524
$$
Then square root to get
$$R=frac3^frac542=frac3^1+frac142=frac323^frac14=frac32sqrt[4]3
$$



as required!

  • Thank you, but how did you get from $frac3^42^2⋅3^frac32$ to $frac3^frac524$?

  • No problem. In that expression, the $2^2$ becomes the $4$ and $frac3^43^frac32=3^4-frac32=3^frac52$.

$$4pi R^2=frac 81pisqrt27implies R^2=frac814sqrt27implies R=frac92sqrt[4]27implies R=frac3^22cdot 3^frac34implies R=frac 3^frac542implies R=frac32cdot sqrt[4]3$$.
