Find the surface area of the figure below.

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

A. 4300.84 mm2 B. 17203.36 mm2 C. 5476.00 mm2 D. 464.96 mm2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That object appears to be a sphere correct?

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formula for Surface area of a sphere is \[A = 4\pi r^2\] The relationship between diameter and radius is \[r = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } D\] r= Radius D = Diameter Using what you know you can now solve for the surface area of the given object assuming the measurement given is the diameter.

what

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

@Johnbc SOS

Solve for the radius and use it in the surface area formula

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

i cant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Radius is half the diameter.

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

i know that and my diameter is 75 my radius is 37.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Was it not 74mm?

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

which means the radius is just 37

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now you have the formula for the surface area of a sphere so just plug in the value of the radius and you will find the surface area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Surface Area of a Sphere \[Area = 4\pi r^2\]

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

A=4*3.14*37²

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

17194.64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Close, maybe a small calculator error. You're value is 17203.361

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

thats what i was thinking
