find the surface area in square meters of a sphere with the diameter of 34 meters

Use the formula for the susface area of a sphere with radius r
[tex]A=4\cdot\pi\cdot r^2[/tex]remember that the radius is
[tex]r=\frac{D}{2}[/tex]find the radius
[tex]r=\frac{34}{2}=17m[/tex]replace in the formula for the surface area
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=4\cdot\pi\cdot(17)^2 \\ A\approx3631.68 \end{gathered}[/tex]
