The formula for the surface area of a sphere is A = 4πr^2, where r is the radius of the sphere. Since the diameter of the sphere is 30 inches, the radius would be half of that, which is 15 inches.
Plugging in the radius into the formula, we get:
A = 4π(15)^2
A = 4π(225)
A = 900π
Therefore, the surface area of the sphere with a diameter of 30 inches is 900π in^2.
