Explanation:

We Know

A baseball has a radius of 1.75 inches.

How much material is needed to cover the baseball?

They basically ask us to find the area of the circle.

Area of circle = r² · π

r = 1.75 inches

π = 3.14

We Take

1.75² · 3.14 = 9.61625 in²

So, you need about 9.7 in² material to cover the baseball.
