Answer:

i. The surface area of the ball is approximately 28.0 square inches.

ii. The volume of the ball is approximately 14.0 cubic inches.

Explanation:

The ball has the shape of a sphere, so that;

C = 2
\pir

9.4 = 2 x
(22)/(7) x r

65.8 = 44r

r =
(65.8)/(44)

r = 1.50 inches

The radius of the ball is 1.50 inches.

i. Surface area of a sphere = 4
\pi
r^(2)

So that,

surface area of the ball = 4 x
(22)/(7) x
(1.5)^(2)

= 28.2857

The surface area of the ball is approximately 28.0 square inches.

ii. Volume of the ball = Volume of a sphere =
(4)/(3)
\pi
r^(3)

Volume of the ball =
(4)/(3) x
(22)/(7) x
(1.5)^(3)

= 14.1429

The volume of the ball is approximately 14.0 cubic inches.
