QOD #2 — Solution

Solution

d = 2160 miles
r = d / 2 = 1080 miles

SA = 4 * PI * r ^ 2 = 4665600 square miles
V  = 4 / 3 * PI * r ^ 3 = 1679616000 cubic miles

Let x = the conversion from lunars to miles
SA * x ^ -2 = V * x ^ -3
     SA * x = V
          x = V / SA = 360

Therefore, there are 360 miles in one lunar
