Question

Find the surface area of an orange with a 3'' radius. 24 sq. in. 36 sq. in. 144 sq. in.

Answer 1

Answer:

The surface of orange is 36π square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :An orange with a 3'' radius.

We have to find the surface area of orange with radius 3 inches.

Since, the orange is in shape of sphere.

So,  Surface of area of orange is same as surface area of sphere.

We know,

Surface area of sphere = $4\pi r^2$

Given : radius= 3 inches

Surface area of orange = $4\pi\cdot (3)^2$

Surface area of orange = $4\pi\cdot 9=36\pi$

Thus, The surface of orange is 36π square inches.

Answer 2

Area of sphere is given by:
Area=4πr²
but:
r=3 inches
thus
Area=4×π×3²
Area=36 π in²
Answer: 36π sq. in
