Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of sphere = 125 sq.ft

4πr² = 125

4*3.14*r² = 125

[tex]\sqrt{x} r^{2}=\frac{125}{4*3.14}\\\\r^{2}=9.95\\\\r=\sqrt{9.95}\\\\[/tex]

r = 3.15 ft

Answer:

631 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

125 square feet = 4 • pi • radius sqaured. Dividing the surface area by 4 and pi, and then taking the square root of that result, gives the correct radius of 3.155 feet. Doubling the radius gives the correct diameter of 6.31 feet.
