Question:
The surface area of a sphere can be approximated as follows:
Surface area = 4πr2;
where r is the radius of the sphere;
π is a constant that is roughly equal to 3.
Calculate the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 5 meters using the simple approximation above.
Answer:
The surface area of a sphere with a radius of 5 meters 300

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Radius of the circle = 5 metres
the value of
is approximately = 3
To Find:
Surface area of the sphere =?
Solution:
The surface area of the sphere can be calculated using the below formula,
Surface area =

so now substituting the given values
Surface area =

Surface area =

Surface area = 300
