The surface area of the original sphere with radius R is $A_{sphere} = 4 \pi R^2$. When the sphere is cut by a plane at a distance h from its center (0
A sphere of radius 100 cm is cut by a plane at a distance of h from its center, thereby breaking this sphere into two different pieces. The cumulative surface area of these two pieces is 25% more than that of the sphere. What is the value of h?
