The surface area of the balloon is 249 in².
<h3>What is the surface area of the balloon ?</h3>
A balloon has the shape of a sphere. The distance round the sphere is equal to the circumference of the sphere.
Circumference of the sphere = 2πr
Where:
- r = radius
- π = pi = 22 / 7
Radius - circumference / 2π
28 / ( 2 x 22/7) = 4.45 inches
Surface area of a sphere = 4πr²
4 x 22/7 x 4.45² = 249 in²
