How would I go about calculating the surface area?
![### Question 22: Surface Area of a Sphere
#### Problem Statement
A sphere with a radius (r) of 4 cm is given. Calculate the surface area of the sphere.
#### Diagram
The diagram provided shows a sphere with a labeled radius. The radius is indicated as a line extending from the center of the sphere to its surface. The sphere is simply labeled as "a sphere."
#### Options
- A) 67.0 cm²
- B) 200.8 cm²
- C) 267.9 cm²
- D) 50.2 cm²
#### Explanation
To solve this problem, you will use the formula for the surface area of a sphere:
\[ \text{Surface Area} = 4 \pi r^2 \]
Given:
- Radius \( r = 4 \, \text{cm} \)
- \(\pi \approx 3.14\)
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Calculate \( r^2 \):
\[ r^2 = 4^2 = 16 \, \text{cm}^2 \]
2. Multiply by \(\pi\):
\[ 4 \pi r^2 = 4 \times 3.14 \times 16 \]
3. Simplify the multiplication:
\[ 4 \times 3.14 = 12.56 \]
\[ 12.56 \times 16 = 200.96 \, \text{cm}^2 \]
The closest option to 200.96 cm² is:
- **B) 200.8 cm²**
Thus, the answer is **B) 200.8 cm²**.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff8311114-a7cb-49e3-b44e-1e05de4bc29a%2F48034c2f-7a3a-4d13-8d30-de9c7401df57%2Fdygo33r.png&w=3840&q=75)
