RBC surface area, volume, and topology

Does anyone have insight into the problem below from a summer student using
flow cytometry?

Our lab is currently researching how high cholesterol levels affect the
diffusion of oxygen
through red blood cells.  My job for the summer will be trying to find a
way to calculate an average surface area, average volume, and topology of
the red blood cells.  Will FSC and SSC data provide enough information?
