We must find the radius so we can plug this into the formula for surface area.
Circumference =


We are going to plug this in as our radius for the most accurate answer.
The surface area of a sphere is

Surface Area =

≈ 451.93 units
To find x just change the <span>> to a =
</span><span>3x-7=5
add 7
3x=12
then divide by 3
x=4
</span>
The answer is probably 50 ok
<span>Let the extension of the length and width be x.
The new dimensions are: Length = 8+x
Width =3+x
Area = 104 ft squared
Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
Therefore,
(8+x)(3+x) = 104
x^2 +11x +24=104
x^2 +11x +24-104=0
x^2 +11x-80=0
Factorize using splitting the middle term method.
X^2 +16x-5x-80=0
x(x+16)-5(x+16)=0
(x-5)(x+16)=0
either x-5 = 0 or x+16=0
x=5 or x=-16
length and width measure cannot be negative.
Therefore, the extension of the length and width is 5 feet each.</span>
