Question

Find the diameter of a sphere with a surface area of 196π square centimeters

Answer 1

`\textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\ SA=4\pi r^2 ~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ SA=196\pi \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} 196\pi =4\pi r^2\implies \cfrac{196\pi }{4\pi }=r^2 \implies 49=r^2 \\\\\\ √(49)=r\implies 7=r~\hfill \underset{diameter}{\stackrel{2(7)}{14}} \end{array}`
