The surface area of a sphere can be computed by knowing only the radius of the sphere using the following relation: a = 4 π r 2 unlike in previous questions where we wanted you to complete a function we had started, here we want you to write a python function from scratch called surf_area_sphere that takes a single parameter, the radius of a sphere as a floating point number, and returns the surface area of that sphere. you can name your parameter whatever you want.

// program in Python.

#library

import math

#function to find surface area of sphere

def surf_area_sphere(rad):

   # calculate area and return it

   return 4*math.pi*rad**2

#read the radius of sphere

rad=float(input("Enter the radius of sphere:"))

#call the function to find the Surface area

s_area=surf_area_sphere(rad)

#print the Surface area

print("Surface area is:",s_area)

Explanation:

Read the radius of sphere from user and assign it to variable "rad".Then call the  function surf_area_sphere() with parameter "rad".This function will calculate the  surface area as "4*pi*r*r" and return it value.Then print the surface area of sphere.

Output:

Enter the radius of sphere:4                                                                                              

Surface area is: 201.06192982974676

a  social news website  is an  internet  website  that features  user-posted stories. such stories are ranked based on popularity, as voted on by other users of the site or by website administrators. users typically comment online on the news posts and these comments may also be ranked in popularity. since their emergence with the birth of  web 2.0, social news sites have been used to link many types of information, including news, humor, support, and discussion. all such websites allow the users to submit content and each site differs in how the content is moderated. on the  slashdot  and  fark  websites,  administrators  decide which articles are selected for the front page. on  reddit  and  digg, the articles that get the most votes from the community of users will make it to the front page. many social news websites also feature an online comment system, where users discuss the issues raised in an article. some of these sites have also applied their voting system to the comments, so that the most popular comments are displayed first. some social news websites also have a  social networking  function, in that users can set up a user profile and follow other users' online activity on the website.
