A sphere has a surface area of 9,244 square feet.

What is the radius of the sphere? Round

to the nearest hundredth.

The answer to your question is radius = 27.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Surface area = 9244 ft²

radius = ?

Process

To solve this problem, look for the formula of surface area, substitute values and simplify.

1. - Formula of the area of a sphere

Surface area = 4π r²

2. - Solve for r²

r² = Surface area / 4π

3. - Substitution

r² = 9244 / 4 (3.14)

4. - Simplification

r² = 9244/12.56

r² = 735.98

5. - Result

r = 27.1 ft
