Find radius of ball that has a surface area of 7.84𝝅 square feet. (round to tenth and units)

1 answer

The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula:

Surface area = 4𝜋r^2

We are given that the surface area is 7.84𝜋 square feet. Rearranging the formula, we have:

7.84𝜋 = 4𝜋r^2

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4𝜋, we get:

1.96 = r^2

Taking the square root of both sides, we find:

r = 1.4 feet

Therefore, the radius of the ball is 1.4 feet.
