Interesting Geo Problem

Polyhedron P is inscribed in a sphere of radius 36 (meaning that all vertices of P lie on the sphere surface). What is the least upper bound on the ratio
volume of P / surface area of P

In other words, what is the smallest real number t such that
volume of P/ surface area of P is less than or equal to t
must be true for all polyhedra P that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius 36?

Re: Interesting Geo Problem

Nevermind! I got it! For those wondering, you just find the ratios of a sphere because as you get more faces it becomes more like a sphere!
