Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a sphere is given by the formula ...
A = 4πr² . . . . . sphere of radius r
In terms of diameter, the area is ...
A = 4π(d/2)² = πd²
__
For a diameter of 14 inches, the area of the beach ball is ...
A = π(14 in)² = 196π in² ≈ 615.8 in²
The area of the ball is about 615.8 square inches.
