Question

The radius of a salad bowl is 8.9 inches. What is the surface area of the bowl? (Assume the bowl is half a sphere and use 3.14 for ).
a. 3979.51 in2
b. 994.88 in2
c. 497.44 in2
d. 52.92 in2

Answer 1

Answer:

994.88 in2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the surface area formula SA = 4(pi)(r2) which results in SA = 4(3.14)((8.9)2) = 994.88 square inches. Because the bowl represents half a sphere, it is necessary to divide that answer by 2 to get the surface of the bowl.
