The formula for the surface area of a sphere is:

Surface Area = 4πr^2

Given that the basketball has a diameter of 9.2 inches, we can calculate the radius by dividing the diameter by 2:

Radius = 9.2 inches / 2 = 4.6 inches

Now we can substitute the value of the radius into the formula and solve for the surface area:

Surface Area = 4π(4.6 inches)^2
Surface Area = 4π(21.16 square inches)
Surface Area ≈ 265.77 square inches

Therefore, the correct answer is:

265.77 inches squared

Apologies for the confusion. Let's go through the calculation again and select the closest response from the options.

The formula for the surface area of a sphere is:

Surface Area = 4πr^2

Given that the basketball has a diameter of 9.2 inches, we can calculate the radius by dividing the diameter by 2:

Radius = 9.2 inches / 2 = 4.6 inches

Now we can substitute the value of the radius into the formula and solve for the surface area:

Surface Area = 4π(4.6 inches)^2
Surface Area = 4π(21.16 square inches)
Surface Area ≈ 335.1 square inches

Rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth, the correct response would be:

335.1 in.2

Using the value of pi as 3.14 and rounding to the nearest hundredth, the correct answer would be:

Surface Area ≈ 271.71 square inches

Among the given options, the closest response would be:

265.77 in.2
