|dw:1347568958290:dw|

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[\huge SA = 4\pi r^2\] will that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just make sure ur using the radius not the diameter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it doesn't help/: A. 13 in.2 B. 50 in.2 C. 6 in.2 D. 3 in.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i find the answer

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

what is your radius in this problem? do you know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

no. that is the diameter. to get the radius, divide that by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

right. so substitute that to the equation i gave you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i feel like an idiot, idk what to do

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

r = 1 right? because it's the radius`

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 3 in^2

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

so replace r with 1 in the equation i wrote...what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13 in^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

will you elaborate how you got that?
