A ball has a radius of 1 foot. What is the surface area of the ball?
The surface area of any sphere is 4 π (radius)².
When the radius is 1 ft, the surface area is
4 π (1 ft)² = 4π ft² .
Answer:
The surface area of the ball is \(4\pi\ ft^{2}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The surface area of a sphere ( a ball) is equal to
\(SA=4\pi r^{2}\)
In this problem we have
\(r=1\ ft\)
substitute
\(SA=4\pi (1^{2})=4\pi\ ft^{2}\)
