Answer:
Given:
Radius of the sphere is 26 mi.
To find the surface area of a given sphere.
We know that,
Surface area of a sphere is,
[tex]4\pi r^2[/tex]
where r is the radius of the sphere.
Substitute the values we get, (pi=3.14)
[tex]=4\times3.14\times(26)\placeholder{⬚}^2[/tex][tex]=4\times3.14\times676[/tex][tex]=8,490.56\text{ mi}^2[/tex]
The required surface area is 8,490.56 mi^2.
