Find the surface area of a sphere of radius
(i) 10.5cm (ii) 5.6cm (iii) 14cm
(Assume π=22/7)
Show solutionHide solution
Formula: Surface area of a sphere (SA) = 4πr2
(i) Radius of a sphere, r = 10.5 cm
SA = 4×(22/7)×10.52 = 1386
Surface area of a sphere is 1386 cm2
(ii) Radius of a sphere, r = 5.6cm
Using formula, SA = 4×(22/ 7)×5.62 = 394.24
Surface area of a sphere is 394.24 cm2
(iii) Radius of a sphere, r = 14cm
SA = 4πr2
= 4×(22/7)×(14)2
= 2464
Surface area of a sphere is 2464 cm2
