A Sphere with a diameter of 16 mm has the same surface area as the total surface of a right cylinder with the base diameter equal to the sphere diameter. How high is the cylinder?
 
If the sphere's diameter is 16 mm, what is its radius? Plug this into the surface-area formula for a sphere. Then take the total-surface-area formula for a cylinder, and plug in the given radius value and the surface-area value you just found. Solve for the height "h".
