Surface area of a Basketball is determined using the radius, which is 4.695. π means pi (3.14159...). Surface area of a sphere is 4 x π x r^2. So, 4 x π x 4.695^2. This simplifies to 88.1721 x π . This approximately equals 277.0.

The Men's Size 7 regulation basketball has a diameter of 9.39 inches and radius of 4.695 inches. The surface area is calculated using the formula (pi x r2 ) where pi = 3.142 and r is the radius.

Hernce, surface area = 3.142 x 4.6952 = 69.259 square inches.
