The circumference of a grapefruit is 4π cm. Find the surface area of the grapefruit. Express your answer in terms of π.a) 16 pie cm2b) 32 pie cm2c) 64 pie cm2d) 72 pie cm2
Question
Answer:
We find radius first:
C = 2 * pie * r
r = C/(2 pie) = 4 pie cm / (2 pie) = 2 cm
Now we find surface area: A = 4r˛ = 4 (2)^2 = 16 pie cm2
Hence the surface area of the grapefruit fruit is 16 pie cm2.
