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
