The formula for the surface area of a sphere is given by:
Surface Area = 4πr^2
where r is the radius of the sphere.
The diameter of the basketball is given as 9.2 inches, which means the radius is half of that, or 9.2/2 = 4.6 inches.
Plugging this value into the formula, we have:
Surface Area = 4π(4.6)^2 = 4π(21.16) ≈ 333.19 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the basketball is approximately 333.19 square inches.
