Answer:
[tex]SA=6.96\ in^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface Area
Given a sphere of radius r, the formula to compute its surface area is
[tex]SA=4\pi r^2[/tex]
The ping-pong ball (assumed as a sphere) has a diameter
[tex]d=1.4882\ inches[/tex]
Since the diameter is twice the radius, then
[tex]r=d/2=1.4882\ inches/2=0.7441\ inches[/tex]
Thus, the surface area is
[tex]SA=4\pi\cdot 0.7441^2[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{SA=6.96\ in^2}[/tex]
