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.
