Answer 1

Answer:

As Per Provided Information

We have to use π = 3.14

Diameter of baseball is 3 inch

So, Radius of Baseball will be

• Radius = Diameter/2

Radius = 3/2 inch

Radius = 1.5 inch

we have been asked to determine the surface area of given baseball .

Using Formulae

$\boxed {\bf \: Surface \: Area_{(Baseball)} \: = 4 \pi {r}^{2} }$

substituting the value and let's solve it

$\longrightarrow\tt \:Surface \: Area_{(Baseball)} \: = 4 \times 3.14 \times {1.5}^{2} \\ \\ \\ \longrightarrow\tt \:Surface \: Area_{(Baseball)} \: = \: 4 \times 3.14 \times 2.25 \\ \\ \\ \longrightarrow\tt \:Surface \: Area_{(Baseball)} \: = \: 12.56 \times 2.25 \\ \\ \\ \longrightarrow\tt \:Surface \: Area_{(Baseball)} \: = \: 28.26 \: {inch}^{2}$

Therefore,

• Surface Area of baseball is 28.26 sq. inch .

So, your answer is 28.26 sq.in
