The main formula of a spherical surface area is SA= 4 x Pi x r²
the circumference is C= 19cm =2 Pi r, so r = C/ 2Pi = 19 / 6.28 =3.02cm
so the surface area can be found by computing
SA= 4x 3.14x 3.02² =114.5, the nearest square centimeter is <span>A) 114 cm^2</span>
Convert each mixed number to an improper fraction
--------------------------------------------
Convert 6&1/2 to an improper fraction
6&1/2 = (6*2+1)/2
6&1/2 = (12+1)/2
6&1/2 = 13/2
--------------------------------------------
Do the same for 9&1/4
9&1/4 = (9*4+1)/4
9&1/4 = (36+1)/4
9&1/4 = 37/4
--------------------------------------------
Now multiply the improper fractions 13/2 and 37/4. Multiply straight across
(13/2)*(37/4) = (13*37)/(2*4)
(13/2)*(37/4) = 481/8
--------------------------------------------
The last step is to use long division to find the mixed number equivalent of 481/8
Or we an say
60*8 = 480
So 60*8+1 = 480+1
which means
481/8 = (480+1)/8 = 480/8+1/8 = 60&1/8
Making the final answer to be choice C
Another way to get the answer is to convert 481/8 into a decimal to get 60.125 and then convert that back to a mixed number. You should get 60&1/8
Why would u ask if you already know the answer
