First, find the radius V = 3,000 # remember the equation above in order to find the surface area # this is the radius in the term of π r = 26.7686... to the nearest tenth r = 26.8 The radius is approximately 26.8 cm
Second, find the surface area The following formula is a formula to find the surface area of a sphere sa = 4 × π × r²
Remember the value of π × r² when we tried to solve for radius? See hash tag # above, π × r² = 2,250, thus sa = 4 × π × r² sa = 4 × 2,250 sa = 9,000 The surface area is 9,000 cm²
Lets x = width length = x + 4 (4 meters longer than wide)
A = L * W 192 = x ( x +4) 192 = x^2 + 4x x^2 + 4x - 192 = 0 (x +16)(x-12) = 0 x - 12 = 0, x = 12 x + 16 = 0, x = -16 so width x = 12 length = 12 + 4 = 16 (4 meters longer than wide)
