The surface area of a sphere can be approximated as follows: surface area = 4πr2; where r is the radius of the sphere; π is a constant that is roughly equal to 3.using the simple approximation above, calculate the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 2 meters. a 16 m2 b 9 m2 c24 m2 d 48 m2

D.) 48m^2

Hope this helps!

D. 48

Explanation:

Since surface area = and r = 2 while = 3, the problem can be solved by simple substitution. Substitute for r and  in the equation

Surface area = 4 x 3 x 2 x 2

                         = 48

The surface area of a sphere with a radius of 2 meters is 48 .

The correct option is D.

i believe it would cause an increase of percipitation, though i could be wrong. so i would say b is the answer.
