Find the surface area of a sphere with a diameter of 40 inches. Leave your answer in terms of pi.(1 point)
The surface area is ___in.2
The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula A = 4πr^2, where r is the radius of the sphere.
Since the diameter is given as 40 inches, the radius is half of that, which is 20 inches.
Substituting this value into the formula, we get A = 4π(20)^2 = 4π(400) = 1600π.
Therefore, the surface area of the sphere is 1600π square inches.
says its wrong
Apologies for the incorrect answer. Let's try solving it again.
The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula A = 4πr^2, where r is the radius of the sphere.
Since the diameter is given as 40 inches, the radius is half of that, which is 20 inches.
Substituting this value into the formula, we get A = 4π(20)^2 = 4π(400) = 1600π.
Therefore, the surface area of the sphere is 1600π square inches.
still wrong
Apologies for the confusion. I made a mistake in my previous response. Let's solve the problem correctly this time.
The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula A = 4πr^2, where r is the radius of the sphere.
Given that the diameter of the sphere is 40 inches, the radius is half of the diameter, which is 40/2 = 20 inches.
Substituting this value into the formula, we get A = 4π(20)^2 = 4π(400) = 1600π.
Hence, the surface area of the sphere is 1600π square inches.
