Surface area of the sphere = 4 π r2 , where “r” is the sphere's radius.

There are three types of surface area in solids: lateral surface area (LSA), curved surface area (CSA), and total surface area (TSA).


A balloon’s radius increases 3 times when the air is pumped in it. If the surface area of the balloon after pumping the air is A<sub>2</sub> and its surface area before pumping the air is A<sub>1</sub>, then what is the value of \(\frac{A_1}{A_2}\) ?
