Use the formula for the surface area of a sphere to find the surface area of a basketball that has a diameter of 9.2 inches. Use 3.14 pi and round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer 1

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

Surface Area = 4πr^2

where r is the radius of the sphere.

The diameter of the basketball is given as 9.2 inches, which means the radius is half of that, or 9.2/2 = 4.6 inches.

Plugging this value into the formula, we have:

Surface Area = 4π(4.6)^2 = 4π(21.16) ≈ 333.19 square inches

Therefore, the surface area of the basketball is approximately 333.19 square inches.
