Five spheres are being painted for a display at a store. If the diameter of each sphere is
7 centimeters, which value is closest to the total surface area that will be painted?

Respuesta :

Hello!

The answer is:

The total area is:

[tex]TotalArea=192.4cm^{2}[/tex]

Why?

To find the cloasest value to the total surface area that will be painted, we need to calculate the area of a single sphere, and then, multiply it by 5.

We know that the diameter of each sphere is 7 centimeters, so, calculating we have:

Calculating the radius we have,

[tex]diameter=2*radius\\\\radius=\frac{diameter}{2}=\frac{7cm}{2}=3.5cm[/tex]

Then, calculating the area, we have:

[tex]Area=\pi radius^{2}[/tex]

[tex]Area=\pi 3.5cm^{2}=38.49cm^{2}[/tex]

Now that we have calculated the surface area of a single sphere, we need to calculate the area of the five spheres.

So, calculating we have:

[tex]TotalArea=5*38.48cm^{2}=192.4cm^{2}[/tex]

Hence, the total area is:

[tex]TotalArea=192.4cm^{2}[/tex]

Have a nice day!

Using the surface area of a sphere, it is found that the total surface area that will be painted is of 769.69 cm².

What is the surface area of a sphere?

The surface area of a sphere of radius r is given by:

[tex]S = 4\pi r^2[/tex]

In this problem, we have five spheres, with radius(half the diameter) r = 3.5 cm, hence the total surface area in square centimeters is given by:

[tex]S_t = 5 \times 4\pi \times 3.5^2 = 769.69[/tex]

The total surface area that will be painted is of 769.69 cm².
