You can identify that the identify that the diameter of the sphere is:


d=8\operatorname{cm}

Since the radius is half the diameter:


\begin{gathered} r=\frac{8\operatorname{cm}}{2} \\ \\ r=4\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

Knowing this, you can use the following formula for calculate the surface area of the sphere:


SA=4\pi r^2

Where "r" is the radius.

Substituting the radius into the formula, you get the following result:


\begin{gathered} SA=4\pi(4\operatorname{cm})^2 \\ SA=64\pi cm^2 \end{gathered}

The answer is:


64\pi cm^2
