Exercise 9 Page 852

Use the formula for the circumference of a circle to find its radius.

About 277.59 cubic inches

Practice makes perfect

A basketball used in professional games can be modeled by the following sphere.

Let r denote its radius. We know that the circumference of the ball is 29.5 inches. We are asked to find its surface area. First, let's find r using the formula for the circumference of a circle.

C=2π r

Substitute

C= 29.5

29.5=2π r

Rearrange equation

2π r=29.5
