1 answer

To calculate the surface area and volume of a sphere, you can use the following formulas:

  1. Surface Area (A) = \(4 \pi r^2\)
  2. Volume (V) = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\)

Where \(r\) is the radius of the sphere.

Given that the radius \(r = 69\) inches and using \( \pi \approx 3.14\):

Surface Area Calculation

\[ A = 4 \pi r^2 \] \[ A = 4 \times 3.14 \times (69)^2 \] Calculating \( (69)^2 = 4761\): \[ A = 4 \times 3.14 \times 4761 = 4 \times 14916.34 = 59665.36 \text{ square inches} \]

Volume Calculation

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (69)^3 \] Calculating \( (69)^3 = 328509\): \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 328509 \] Calculating \(3.14 \times 328509 = 1030056.26\): \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 1030056.26 = 1360074.347 \text{ cubic inches} \]

Final Results

  • The sphere's surface area is 59665.36 square inches.
  • The sphere's volume is 1360074.347 cubic inches.
