Answer:
97,264.64 yd²
Explanation:
The circumference of a sphere is the circumference of a circle with the same radius:
C = 2πr
The area of a sphere is given by the formula ...
A = 4πr²
In terms of circumference, that is ...
A = 4π(C/(2π))² = C²/π
Using the given values, the area of the sphere is ...
A = (552.64 yd)²/3.14 = 97,264.64 yd²
