Question

Find the surface area of a ping pong ball if the diameter of a ping pong ball is 1.4882 inches round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

6.96 in².

Explanation:

The formula for the surface area of a sphere is

A= 4πr²

Data:

d = 1.4882 in

Calculations:

r = d/2 = 1.4882/2 = 0.7441 in

V = 4 × π × 0.7441² = 6.96 in²

The surface area of the ping pong ball is 6.96 in².
