Answer: 1024pi

======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter 32 cuts in half to 16, which is the radius. So r = 16.

Use this to find the surface area of the sphere in the formula below

SA = 4*pi*r^2

SA = 4*pi*16^2

SA = (4*16^2)*pi

SA = 1024pi

This is the exact surface area in terms of pi.

The area units are in square feet, or ft^2 for short.
