The diameter of a basketball is 24 cm. Find its surface area. Express your answer in terms of [tex] \pi [/tex].

Respuesta :

Use the formula of surface area of a sphere

Answer:

[tex]576\pi[/tex]cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of a basketball is 24 cm

Radius of the basket ball = diameter / 2= 24/2 = 12 cm

Surface area of the basket ball = [tex]4\pi r^2[/tex]

Where r is the radius of the sphere

given radius = 12cm

Surface area of the basket ball = [tex]4\pi*12*12[/tex]

=[tex]576\pi[/tex]
