The surface area of a sphere is four times the product of π and the square of the radius.

100Ď€cm^2

Practice makes perfect

We will find the surface area of the given sphere.

The surface area of a sphere is four times the product of π and the square of the radius. S.A.=4π r^2 In the diagram we can see that the diameter is 10cm. Therefore, the radius is 10÷ 2= 5cm. We can substitute this value for r in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side.
S.A.=4Ď€ r^2
S.A.=4Ď€ ( 5)^2
â–Ľ
Simplify right-hand side
S.A.=4Ď€ (25)
S.A.=4(25)Ď€
S.A.=100Ď€
The surface area of the given sphere, in terms of π, is equal to 100π square centimeters.
