Humans are made up of many types of cells, and these cells have a broad range of sizes. For example, a type of fat cell called an adipocyte has a radius of approximately 50\, \mu\text{m}50μm50, mu, start text, m, end text, while a type of heart muscle cell called a cardiomyocyte has a radius of about 15\, \mu\text{m}15μm15, mu, start text, m, end text.
Surface area of a sphere: A = 4πr^2A=4πr
2
A, equals, 4, π, r, squared
Assuming both cell types are perfectly spherical, approximately how many times larger is the surface area of an adipocyte compared to the surface area of a cardiomyocyte?
Round your answer to the nearest integer.
