The formula to find the surface area of a sphere is to take the radius of the sphere and square it and multiply that amount by p
i and then multiply that by 4. This is written algebraically as S=4πr2, where S is the surface area, r is the radius, and the value of π is 3.14. Rewrite the equation to solve for the radius of the sphere if you know the sphere’s surface area. Then estimate the radius of a sphere given a surface area of 500 meters2.
500=4πr^2. first divide 500 from four which will equal 125, then divide 125 with π and it will equal 39.788 . finally √39.788. the answer will be r=6.3 or 6
