Answer:


2059.7\,\,cm^2

Explanation:

Diameter of a model of earth (D) = 25.6 cm

Radius of a model of earth (r) =
(D)/(2)=(25.6)/(2)=12.8\,\,cm

Earth has the shape of a sphere.

Total surface area of a sphere =
4\pi r^2

Put
\pi=(22)/(7)\,,\,r=12.8\,\,cm

So,

Total surface area of the model
=4((22)/(7))(12.8)^2=2059.7\,\,cm^2
