Find the surface area of a sphere with a diameter of 14 cm.

OpenStudy (lucaz):

the formula is 4*pi*r^2

OpenStudy (lucaz):

diameter = 2*radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay :) so i do 4x4? :)

OpenStudy (lucaz):

4*pi*7, 7 because it's the half of 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh and how do you know what the radius is? idk how to get the radius

OpenStudy (lucaz):

4*pi*7^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay. so i just say what times 2=14 ? which would be 7

OpenStudy (lucaz):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 7 is the radius:))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(The radius is half of the diameter, yes)

OpenStudy (lucaz):

yeah, just use the formula to find the area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh! okay thanks :)

OpenStudy (lucaz):

no problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait, you said 4x7^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 4x49 which equals 343

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait nvm i messed up lol. i got 196 now
