Question:

If the diameter of a sphere is 3.5 cm, then what is the total surface area of the sphere ?

Options:

45.75 cm2

42.6 cm2

38.5 cm2

34.25 cm2

Correct Answer:

38.5 cm2

Explanation:

We know that,

Total surface area = 4πr2

We have,

The diameter of a sphere is 3.5 cm

Total surface area = 4 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × (\(\frac{3.5}{2}\))2

= 4 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{12.25}{4}\) = \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 12.25 = 38.5
