A sphere has the volume given. Find its surface area to the nearest whole number.

Givent : V=900 in ^3

Volume of the sphere = 900 cubic inch

Then

4/3 pi (r) ^3 = 900

pi (r) ^3 = (900 * 3) / 4

= 675

r^3 = 675/pi

= 675/3.14

r^3 = 214.97

r = 6

Then

Surface area of the sphere = 4 pi (r) ^2

= 4 * 3.14 * (6) ^2

= 4 * 3.14 * 36

= 452.16

= 452

The surface area of the sphere given in the question is 452 square inches.
