Choose a coccus and a bacillus from the organisms you observed and calculate their surface-to-volume ratios. Consider the coccus to be a perfect sphere and the bacillus to be a cylinder. Use the equations supplied. Please show detailsThank you!

Coccus (S. aureus, d=1 um) SA = 4π2 V = 4/3 π3

Bacillus (E. Coli, d=1 um, h=2 um) SA = 2π r h + 2 π r2 = π d (r + h) V = π2 h
