Answer:
D. 48 [tex]m^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Since surface area = [tex]4\pi r^2[/tex] and r = 2 while [tex]\pi[/tex] = 3, the problem can be solved by simple substitution. Substitute for r and [tex]\pi[/tex] in the equation
Surface area = 4 x 3 x 2 x 2
= 48 [tex]m^2[/tex]
The surface area of a sphere with a radius of 2 meters is 48 [tex]m^2[/tex].
The correct option is D.
