Answer: The radius of the ball is 7 meters.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Surface area of a sphere: 4 π r^2

Replacing with the value given:

615.75 = 4 π r^2

Solving for r (radius):

615.75 /4π= r^2

√(615.75 /4π) =r

r = 6.99 = 7m (rounded)

The radius of the ball is 7 meters.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
