The surface area of a sphere with diameter 78 and using 3.14 for Pi is about 19,103.76 units2
Yes, that's true. The surface area is (the square of the diameter) multiplied by (pi).
Using the formula for the surface area of a sphere, which is SA = 4 (pi) r2, you can find the radius, and the diameter of the sphere is twice the radius. Example: If the surface of a sphere is 380 square cm 4 (pi) r2 = SA 4 (3.1416) r2 = 380 12.5664 r2 = 380 r2 = approx. 30.24 r = 5.5 and diameter D = 11 cm
Calculate the radius (it is half the diameter).Use the formula for a sphere: area = 4 x pi x radius2.Since a hemisphere is half a sphere, divide this result by 2.Question:Do you mean the surface area to include the flat face of the hemisphere?If so then follow the above instructions and add pi*42 to your answer which will give you the complete surface area of the hemisphere.
