Answer:
162π ft²
Explanation:
The surface area (SA) of a sphere is
SA = 4πr² ← r is the radius
Calculate r from the volume, that is
V =
πr³ = 972π
Multiply both sides by 3
4πr³ = 2916π ( divide both sides by 4π )
r³ =
= 729
Take the cube root of both sides
r =
= 9, hence
SA = 4π × 9² = 4π × 81 = 324π
