Can you pretty please help me with my Surface Area question?

OpenStudy (kymber):

OpenStudy (eyust707):

okay so we have to wwork backwards from the surface area equation.

OpenStudy (eyust707):

Suface area = 4 pi r^2

OpenStudy (eyust707):

okay so plug in the surface area and solve for r

OpenStudy (eyust707):

remember that 2r = d

OpenStudy (kymber):

I did that & got the wrong answer.

OpenStudy (eyust707):

did you double r to get d?

OpenStudy (kymber):

Yes I did. I got 3.5

OpenStudy (eyust707):

okay so \[490.87 = 4 pi ( r ^2) \] \[490.87/4 pi = r ^2\] \[\sqrt(490.87/4pi) = r\]

OpenStudy (eyust707):

\[2r = d\] so \[d = 2\sqrt(490.87/4pi)\]

OpenStudy (kymber):

This is what I did.|dw:1334797724724:dw|
