The lateral area of a sphere is the area that sphere would cover if placed laterally over a flat surface. Hence, for a standard sphere of radius one unit, the lateral area is equal to:

A = (pi*r^2) x 7/8

= 7/8 x pi

there would be no" lateral" surface to a sphere because it is round , only with a cube ,pyramid or rectangular object would you have lateral surface,although it is still possible to determine the surface area and volume of a sphere, the formula to calculate the area of a sphere is 4x pie x radius squared, to calculate the volume the formula is 4x pie x radius cubed divided by 3, to calculate a hemisphere you would divide the answer in half.

A sphere does not have a lateral area because it is a three-dimensional object with a curved surface that does not have sides like a cylinder or cone.

I am not sure what you mean with "lateral area" - the total area of a sphere is 4 x pi x radius squared.
