Answer:
[tex] \displaystyle S _{ \text{sphere}} =3629.84 {cm}^{2} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given a ball
remember that,a ball is a Sphere
thus,
[tex] \displaystyle S _{ \text{sphere}} = 4\pi {r}^{2} [/tex]
given that, redious is 17 cm
substitute:
[tex] \displaystyle S _{ \text{sphere}} = 4 \times \pi \times {17}^{2} [/tex]
simplify square:
[tex] \displaystyle S _{ \text{sphere}} = 4 \times \pi \times 289[/tex]
substitute the approximate value of π:
[tex] \displaystyle S _{ \text{sphere}} = 4 \times 3.14 \times 289[/tex]
simplify multiplication:
[tex] \displaystyle S _{ \text{sphere}} =3629.84[/tex]
hence, the surface area of the sphere is 3629.84 cm²
