The surface area of the sphere is given by:
A = 4πr²
Where,
r: radius of the sphere.
The circumference is given by:
C = 2πr
From here, we clear the radio:
r = C / 2π
r = 26π / 2π
r = 13
Substituting the radius in the equation of the area we have:
A = 4πr²
A = 4π (13) ²
A = 676π
Answer:
the surface area is:
A = 676π
