    We know the surface areas:

    Sphere Surface Area = 4 • π • r²

    radius^2 = Surface Area / 4 * PI

    Let's say area of smaller sphere is 4 PI

    radius^2 = 1

    radius = 1

    9/4 = 2.25

    Area of the larger sphere = 4 * PI * 2.25

    radius^2 = 2.25

    radius = 1.5

    Volume of a sphere = 4/3 • π • r³

    Volume of larger sphere = 4/3 • π • 1.5^3

    Volume of larger sphere = 3.375 times volume of smaller sphere

    Mass of larger sphere = 3.375 * 10 kg

    The larger sphere weighs 33.75 kg
