Question
Find the surface area of a sphere of radius 14 cm.
Advertisements
Solution
In the given problem, we have to find the surface area of a sphere of a given radius.
Radius of the sphere (r) = 14 cm
So, surface area of the sphere = `4pi r^2`
`=4(22/7)(14)^2`
= 2464 cm2
Therefore, the surface area of the given sphere of radius 14 cm is 2464 cm2.
