Find the surface area of the ball shown to the right
d = 6cm
To find the surface area of a sphere, you can use the formula:
Surface Area = 4πr^2
Given that the diameter of the ball is 6cm, the radius (r) is half of the diameter, so r = 3cm.
Surface Area = 4π(3)^2
Surface Area = 4π(9)
Surface Area = 36π
Therefore, the surface area of the ball is 36π square centimeters.
