SA=4pir^2
d/2=r
9.4/2=r=4.7

SA=4*3.141592*4.7^2

Given,

Diameter of the basketball = 9.4 inches
∴ Radius of the basketball = diameter ÷ 2 = 9.4 ÷ 2 = 4.7 inches
π = 3.14159

Surface area of the basketball is the surface area of the sphere = 4 π r² = 4 × 3.141 x 4.7² = 277.59 = 277.6 inches²

Answer:

EB = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you can use the power of a point, in the situation where two secants intersect in the interior of a circle. The formula is as follows:

CE * ED = AE * EB

(This is applied specifically to this problem)

We can substitute the values given,

5 * (x - 4) = 3 * x

simplify,

5x - 20 = 3x

and solve.

2x - 20 = 0

2x = 20

x = 10

Since the value of EB is x, EB = 10.
