Use the formula for the surface area of a sphere to find the surface area of a basketball that has a diameter of 9.2 in use 3.14 pi round your answer to the nearest hundredth
The formula for the surface area of a sphere is given by A = 4πr^2, where r is the radius of the sphere.
Since the given diameter is 9.2 inches, the radius (r) will be half of the diameter. Thus, the radius of the basketball is 9.2/2 = 4.6 inches.
Using the value of π = 3.14, we can substitute the values into the surface area formula:
A = 4π(4.6)^2
A = 4 * 3.14 * (4.6)^2
A ≈ 264.57 square inches
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the surface area of the basketball is approximately 264.57 square inches.
