A company makes plastic beach balls with a radius of 2 inches. How many square inches of plastic does the company need to make 10 beach balls? Use 3.14 for x and round to the nearest tenth.

Recall the formula SA - 48/?.

50.24 in 2

100.5 in 2

2512 in 2

5024 in 2

502.4 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a sphere = 4 πr²

Plastic beach balls are spherical in shape.

Hence, the Area of a sphere = 4πr²

Where r = radius = 2 inches

π = 3.14

Hence, the area of one spherical ball =

4 × 3.14 × 2²

= 50.24 square Inches

For 1 spherical ball, 50.24 square inches of plastic is needed to make it.

How many square inches of plastic does the company need to make 10 beach balls?

Therefore,

1 spherical ball = 50.24 in²

10 spherical balls = x

Cross Multiply

x = 10 × 50.24 in²

x = 502.4 in²

Therefore, 502.4 square inches of plastic is needed by the company to make 10 beach balls.
