do you know formula for calculating surface area of a sphere?

2. penberth Group Title

yes but I keep getting 153.94

3. Tomas.A Group Title

In all answers there are p, so I guess its $$\pi$$? So you should not write 3.14 instead of it but just keep it.

4. penberth Group Title

this is due today and I have no idea what you just said

5. Tomas.A Group Title

write down formula of sphere for me

6. penberth Group Title

4 pi r 2

7. Tomas.A Group Title

ok so $S=4\pi r^2=4\pi3.5^2=4\pi12.25=49\pi$ and taht's your answer, its D you don't need to use 3.14 instead of $$\pi$$ because no one asked you. 3.14 is just approximation of $$\pi$$ and for math you need the most accurate result.
