A balloon has a circumference of 23 cm. Use the circumference to approximate the surface area of the balloon to the nearest square centimeter.

Respuesta :

We assume that the balloon has a shape of a sphere and its surface area is represented as:

A = 4πr²

We first need to determine the radius of the balloon. We are given the circumference which is calculated from the formula:

C = 2πr = 23
r = 3.66 cm

A = 4πr²
A = 4π(3.66)²
A = 168.39 cm²
