What is the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 20 m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the formula for the surface area of a sphere is \[SA = 4 \times \pi \times r^2\] just substitute the value 20 and calculate it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5024 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not on my answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this are my answer choices : A.) 800π m2 B.) 1,600π m2 C.) 200π m2 D.) 400π m2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your math was wrong, because the formula is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4*pi*r^2 = 4(pi)(20^2) = 4 * 400 * pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 x 400 x 3.14 ?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

if you look at you're answers you need an exact value... so its \[Sa = 4 \times 20^2 \times \pi\] leave the answer in terms of pi... don't use 3.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its b ?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

thats correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)
