What is the surface area of a sphere with radius 5.2 cm?

1 answer

The formula for the surface area of a sphere is 4πr^2, where r is the radius of the sphere.

Given that the radius of the sphere is 5.2 cm, we can plug this value into the formula:

Surface area = 4π(5.2)^2
Surface area = 4π(27.04)
Surface area ≈ 108π

Now, we can calculate the numerical value:

Surface area ≈ 108 x 3.14159
Surface area ≈ 339.292 cm^2

Therefore, the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 5.2 cm is approximately 339.292 cm^2.
