The formula for the surface area of a sphere is A = 4πr^2, where r is the radius.
Plugging in the radius (r = 3 cm) into the formula:
A = 4π(3)^2
A = 4π(9)
A = 36π
Therefore, the surface area of the sphere with a radius of 3 cm is 36π square centimeters.
find the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 3 cm. Leave your answer in terms of pi.
