Question

Find the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 6 meters. Leave your answer in terms of pi.
a.200 pi meters squared
b. 48 pi meters squared
c.144 pi meters squared
d.576 pi meters sqaured

Answer 1

The formula for the surface area of a sphere with radius r is given by:

A = 4πr^2

Substituting r = 6 meters into the formula, we get:

A = 4π(6)^2
A = 4π(36)
A = 144π

Therefore, the surface area of the sphere is 144π meters squared. Hence, the correct answer is c. 144π meters squared.
