Question
Find the surface area of a sphere of diameter 14 cm.
`["Assume "pi=22/7]`
Solution
Radius (r) of sphere = `"Diameter"/2`
= `(14/2) cm`
= 7 cm.
Surface area of sphere = 4πr2
= `[4xx22/7xx(7)^2]cm^2`
= (88 × 7) cm2
= 616 cm2
Therefore, the surface area of a sphere having diameter 14 cm is 616 cm2.
