Answer:

$\large\boxed{S.A.=4500\pi\ in^2\approx14130\ in^2}$

Explanation:

The formula of a surface area of a ball (sphere):

$S.A.=(4)/(3)\pi R^3$

R - radius

We have R = 15in. Substitute:

$S.A.=(4)/(3)\pi(15^3)=(4)/(3)\pi(3375)=4500\pi\ in^2$

If you want to get an approximation, then:

$\pi\approx3.14\\\\S.A.\approx(4500)(3.14)=14130\ in^2$
