You mean the surface area, right? Assuming the balloon is approximately spherical, you can measure the diameter, divide by two to get the radius & plug that into this formula.

A=¾πr²

Where A is the area, r is the radius and π is the ratio of the circumpherence to the radius of a circle. 3.14 or 22/7 are good approximations to π, also a decent calculator will have a better approximation built in. To look it up search for "pi" (that's the Greek letter's name).

Consider a balloon that is being inflated As the balloon increases in size the area of its surface increases Each time the balloon's diameter doubles what do you expect for the change in the area?

For any geometric figure, surface area is proportional to (linear dimensions)2 .As the balloon's diameter doubles, its area increases by the factor of (2)2 = 4 .

How much does it cost for a family of four to go on a hot balloon ride?

This answer would be different in every area. I would look up companies in your area (or the area you will be traveling) for a place to do a hot air balloon ride and call them and find out. Make sure you specify the ages of the people in your family as it might change from children to adults. From the research I did I found it could be around $190.00. I found a website that has info on worldwide rides http://www.hotairballooning.com/balloon-rides/

A spherical balloon is partially blown up and its surface area is measured More air is then added increasing the volume of the balloon If the surface area of the balloon expands by a factor of 3.7?

Area varies as (radius)2.Volume varies as (radius)3 = (area)3/2If area increased by the factor of 3.7, then volume increased by the factor of (3.7)3/2 = 7.117 times (rounded)
