Find the surface area of a sphere with a diameter of 30 inches.leave your answer in terms of pi. (1point)
The surface area of a sphere can be found using the formula:
Surface Area = 4πr^2
Since the diameter of the sphere is given as 30 inches, the radius can be found by dividing the diameter by 2:
Radius = Diameter / 2 = 30 inches / 2 = 15 inches
Plugging this value into the formula, we get:
Surface Area = 4π(15 inches)^2 = 4π(225 inches^2) = 900π square inches.
Therefore, the surface area of the sphere is 900π square inches.
