Answer:

Explanation:
The surface area (S) in square meters of a hot-air balloon is given by

where r is the radius of the balloon (in meters).
The radius (r) is increasing with time (t) in seconds according to the formula:

To find the surface area (S) of the balloon as a function of time (t), we can simply substitute the expression for the radius r(t) into the formula for S(r):

Now, simplify this expression:



So, the surface area (S) of the hot-air balloon as a function of time (t) is:
