A cartographer is painting a spherical globe whose surface is 326.7 sq. In. What is the maximum radius of the globe that the cartographer is painting? Use 3.14 for π 5.1 in 4.3 in 26.0 in 13.1 in

The radius of the globe being painted by the cartographer is 5.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, to get the answer to this, we will need to use the formula for the area of a sphere, since the shape in this question is a spherical globe.

Area of a sphere = 4 * pi * r^2

From the question, we can identify that the area is 326.7 square inches, pi = 3.14 and r is unknown.

Plugging these values into the area formula;

326.7 = 4 * 3.14 * r^2

326.7 = 12.56 * r^2

r^2 = 326.7/12.56

r^2 = 26.011146496815

r = √(26.011146496815)

r = 5.1 inches
