Common means similar/alike in this case. to have the highest common factor, you need it to be common with the two numbers. both numbers are negative, so the highest common factor is also negative.

remember, you aren't multiplying/dividing to get a product or quotient; you'r simply looking for a number.

i hope my explanation helped! x

Answer:

452.39

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the surface area of a sphere all you need is the radius (half the diameter) and assuming the sphere touches both top and bottom that makes the radius 6 so your equation is

SA=4πr^2

SA=4*π*6^2

SA=4*π*36

SA=4*113.09

SA=452.389

then rounded up to 452.39, that is your answer
