Find the surface area of a sphere of diameter 21 cm. (Use
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 1386 cm2
Given:
diameter = 21 cm
Formula used:
Total surface area of sphere = 4πr2 ---- (1)
Calculations:
Radius = 21/2 = 10.5 cm
Using equation (1), we get
⇒ Total surface area of sphere = 4 × (22/7) × 10.5 × 10.5 = 1386 cm2
