Surface area of a sphere is 2464 cm2. If its radius is doubled, then the surface area of _________?the new sphere will be
Correct answer: C. 9856 cm2
- A. 4920 cm2
- B. 4727 cm2
- C. 9856 cm2
- D. 19712 cm2
Explanation
Sphere surface area is proportional to r^2. Doubling the radius makes the surface area four times as large, so the new area is 4 x 2464 cm2 = 9856 cm2. Students may choose 4920 cm2 by roughly doubling the area instead of applying the square relationship.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
