    When the sphere has a radius of length 3, the value of the volume of a sphere becomes equal to the value of the surface area of the same sphere.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given R is the radius of a sphere.

    Volume of a sphere is given by the formula

    /frac{4}{3} * π * R³.

    While, surface area of a sphere is given by the formula

    4 * π * R².

    We need to find the value of radius, R, for which the value of the volume of a sphere equals the value of the surface are of a sphere.

    As per the question, we begin with the assumption that the value of the volume of a sphere equals the value of the surface area of the sphere.

    This is shown in the form of an equation given below.

    /frac{4}{3} * π * R³ = 4 * π * R²

    On both sides of the equation, π, is a common term. Hence, this term can be removed from both the sides.

    ⇒ / frac{4}{3} * R³ = 4 * R²

    Similarly, R², is common on both sides of the equation. Next, this term is removed from both the sides of the above equation.

    ⇒ / frac{4}{3} * R = 4

    Next, 4 is the numerator on both sides of the equation.

    4 is removed in the next step from both sides.

    We get the equation as shown below.

    ⇒ / frac{1}{3} * R = 1

    In the above equation, only term left is R, the radius of the sphere.

    On further solving the equation, we get the value of R as 3, which is shown below.

    ⇒ / frac{R}{3} = 1

    On transferring 3 to the other side, we get the value of R as 3.

    ⇒ R = 1 x 3

    ⇒ R = 3

    Hence, for the radius of 3, both the volume of the sphere and the surface area of the sphere become equal.
