How do you find the surface area and volume of a sphere?

Spheres
A sphere is the set of all points in space equidistant from a given point called the center.
S.A.= 4pi r squared

Calculate the surface area:
SA= 4 pi r squared
SA= 4pi(18) squared
SA= 1,296pi squared

V= 4 pi r cubed/3

Calculate the volume:
V= 4 pi r cubed/3
V= 4 pi (8.7) cubed/3
V= 2,634.012pi/3
V= 878.004pi cm cubed
