To solve the problem, we need to show that when the sum of the volumes of a sphere and a cube is minimized, the diameter of the sphere is equal to the edge of the cube. Let's go through the steps systematically. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let: - \( r \) = radius of the sphere - \( a \) = edge length of the cube - \( S \) = sum of the surface areas of the sphere and cube - \( V \) = sum of the volumes of the sphere and cube ...
