Am I doing something dumb with arithmetic?

Asked by Bill1939 (10755points) January 25th, 2013

Area of a sphere = 4 times Pi times radius squared.
Area of a cube = 6 times length squared.

The area of a cube with the volume of one cubed is equal to 6; however the area of a sphere with that volume is 4.8359? I would have assumed that the area of a volume be the same regardless of its shape.
