what is the surface area of a sphere if the radius, r, is 6 meters

You need another measurement to find the surface area.

Surface area of a sphere is 4 PI r^2

Thanks, Bob, I was wrong. I was thinking of a cylinder, not a sphere.

To find the surface area of a sphere, you can use the formula:

Surface area = 4πr²

where r is the radius of the sphere.

In this case, the radius (r) is given as 6 meters.

Substituting the value of r into the formula, we have:

Surface area = 4π(6)²

Now, we need to square the value of 6, which gives us 36.

So, the formula becomes:

Surface area = 4π(36)

Next, we multiply 4 by π(36):

Surface area = 4 × 3.14159 × 36

Multiplying these values together, we get:

Surface area = 452.38934

Therefore, the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 6 meters is approximately 452.39 square meters.
