Hello!
To find the surface area of a sphere you use the equation
[tex]A = 4 \pi r^{2} [/tex]
A is surface area
r is radius
Put in the values you know and 3.14 for pi
[tex]A = 4 * 3.14 * 1.5^{2} [/tex]
Square the number
A = 4 * 3.14 * 2.25
Multiply
A = 28.26
The answer is D)28.26in squared
Hope this helps!
