Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the volume of a sphere is expressed as
Volume = (4/3) × πr³
The volume of the given sphere is expressed as 288π inches³. It means that
(4/3) × πr³ = 288π
4r³/3 = 288
4r³ = 3 × 288 = 864
r³ = 864/4 = 216
Taking cube root of both sides, it becomes
r = 6
The formula for determining the surface area of a sphere is expressed as
Area = 4πr²
π = 3.14
Therefore,
Surface area = 4 × 3.14 × 6² = 452.16 inches²
