Answer:
Surface area of the sphere = [tex]4069.44 in^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given is a sphere which has diameter of 36 inches.
Let us find radius of the sphere.
Radius of the sphere = [tex]\frac{36}{2} =18 inches[/tex]
Surface area of the sphere = [tex]4\pi r^2[/tex]
Substitute the value of r in the formula to get
[tex]SA = 4(3.14)(18^2)\\[/tex]
[tex]=4069.44 in^2[/tex]
Surface area of the sphere = [tex]4069.44 in^2[/tex]
