Sorry can't help you there but how about an additional question:

the formula for the 3D volume of a 4 dimensional sphere? This would be analogous to the area of a 3D sphere.

Well in anwser to these little questions:
wwwDOTbright.net/~mrf/hierarchy(1).html
(Yikes can't use links with brackets!!!! DOT is a ".")

1. A hypersphere (4D sphere) has a 4D "Area" of
V4
= π2r4/2

2. A hypersphere (4D sphere) has a 3D "Surface" of
S3 = 2π2r3
