9.42 sq. in

Answer 1

As Per Provided Information

We have to use π = 3.14

Diameter of baseball is 3 inch

So, Radius of Baseball will be

• Radius = Diameter/2

Radius = 3/2 inch

Radius = 1.5 inch

we have been asked to determine the surface area of given baseball .

Using Formulae

`\boxed {\bf \: Surface \: Area_((Baseball)) \: = 4 \pi {r}^(2) }`

substituting the value and let's solve it

`\longrightarrow\tt \:Surface \: Area_((Baseball)) \: = 4 * 3.14 * {1.5}^(2) \\ \\ \\ \longrightarrow\tt \:Surface \: Area_((Baseball)) \: = \: 4 * 3.14 * 2.25 \\ \\ \\ \longrightarrow\tt \:Surface \: Area_((Baseball)) \: = \: 12.56 * 2.25 \\ \\ \\ \longrightarrow\tt \:Surface \: Area_((Baseball)) \: = \: 28.26 \: {inch}^(2)`

Therefore,

• Surface Area of baseball is 28.26 sq. inch .

So, your answer is 28.26 sq.in
