Skee ball is a game played by rolling a wooden sphere up a ramp into a series of rings. the wooden ball has a surface area of about 531 square centimeters. what is the radius, in centimeters, of the ball? round to the nearest tenth.

Radius of the ball is approximately 6.5 cm to the nearest tenth

Explanation:

The ball has the shape of a sphere

Surface area of a sphere can be calculated using the following rule:

Surface area of sphere = 4πr² square units

In the given problem, we have:

Surface area of the ball = 531 cm²

Substitute with the area in the above equation and solve for the radius as follows:

which is approximately 6.5 cm to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps :)
