What is the surface area of a football?
It surface is 11 27
Is the square footage of your roof the same as the square footage of your home?
Unless you have a flat roof, no; the surface area of the roof will be larger than the ground area of the building.
What is the surfqace area of a cylinder?
It is the surface area of the two ends plus the surface area of the curved surface. Surface area of each end is pir2 Surface area of the curved surface is 2pirh Total surface area = 2pir2 + 2pirh
Volume and surface area of a football?
Answer assuming that by 'football' you meant one used for soccer: Volume of a sphere (the football) = 4/3*pi*radius3 Surface area of a sphere = 4*pi*radius2 -------------------------------- Answer assuming that by 'football' you meant one used for American football: Using the dimensions given on Wikipedia for a standard American football (length of ~11 inches and a central circumference of ~22 inches), one can see that the central radius is approximately 3.5 inches. Further assuming that the shape of an American football in long cross-section is roughly that of a Vesica Piscis, one can integrate using the curve produced to yield either surface area or volume contained. Such integrations are particularly easy and straight forward to perform using a numerical approach such as by using a spreadsheet application, like Microsoft Excel. The approximate volume and surface area of a standard football are 232 cubic inches and 189 square inches, respectively. If one wanted to make a rough empirical check of this volume calculation, a properly inflated standard football could be immersed in water and the the displacement carefully measured. Checking the surface area would involve a bit more work but could be accomplished, again roughly, by deflating the ball and cutting it into triangular pieces that individually lie flat; which could then be measured and their collective surface areas summed up.
Why is the shape of a football not a polygon?
A football has a curved surface and polygons are flat. You can approximate a curved surface quite well if you use enough polygons but each polygon will still be flat and a football does have a curved (and rough) surface. Using a few thousand polygons you can create an approximation of a football with stitching seams and every detail but you will not have a curved surface you will have an approximation of a curved surface.
