Question

A regulation-size women’s basketball has a diameter of 9.07 inches. What is the surface area of the basketball? Use 3.14 for π and round to the nearest tenth. Using Pearson Realize, and it's been acting up recently. Hundredths place will be 9 and it'll round tenths down or keep it the same and remove the hundredths?

Answer 1

A = 258.3

Explanation:

Surface area of a sphere is A = (4)(pi)(r^2)

if the diameter = 9.07, the radius = 4.535

A = (4)(3.14)(4.535)(4.535)

A = (12.56)(20.566225)

A = 258.311786

A = 258.3
